Notes
(0015578) toracat (developer) 2012-08-03 15:12	Relevant forum threads: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=38353&forum=58 [^] and http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=38577&forum=58 [^] As mentioned in the forums, the ipw2200 driver is no longer in the 6.3 kernels. The kmod-compat-wireless package from ELRepo does include this driver, but there is currently some issue with running it in EL6.3: http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=285 [^]
