According to the Intel documentation, that chipset requires the iwlwifi-6000g2a firmware and interrogating the driver doesn't list it: $ strings /lib/modules/2.6.18-348.el5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko | grep ucode | grep firmware firmware=iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-5150-2.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode Hence why I doubt it's supported. Further, elrepo does not have updated drivers for el5. That device does however appear to be supported out of the box on el6 so your best bet would be to upgrade: $ strings /lib/modules/2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko | grep ucode | grep firmware firmware=iwlwifi-5150-2.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode <=== Bingo! firmware=iwlwifi-6050-5.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-100-5.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-135-6.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-105-6.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-2030-6.ucode firmware=iwlwifi-2000-6.ucode Hope that helps
