based on Dag's experience with the Lenovo X200, the intel 5X00 wireless should work with RHEL5.3 without to much problem, although the firmware will have to be grabbed. 5.3 has a iwl5000 firmware in supplemental, and since I don't see a 5000 series I would presume that covers these. thanks for the pointers kaj and dag. -greg _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
