Perhaps it would then be more valid to say that support for Intel Centrino wireless was not available for us to evaluate and consider for inclusion at the time that Red Hat Linux 9 engineering freezes went in to place. I do not know wether or not such wireless support is even available right now. Someone from Intel would have to comment on that. Suffice it to say however, that once we have entered our internal feature freezes and code freezes, whatever hardware support is included, will likely be in the final release, and whatever hardware support is not included, most likely will not be in the final release.
