Thank you Andras.
This was an Intel motherboard but I'm pretty sure the WiFi with an
internal USB connector was identified as Broadcom but perhaps it is in
the same family.

From one point of update since SL 6.2 I was continuously having
problems with my Intel 3945 ABG wifi card. Serious kernel panics and
hangings happened after a couple of minutes uptime. I read about
similar problems on the net from CentOS systems too around the same
time of my update.
This card was working just fine before on SL, and even after on
different Linux systems - later I even bought another card
with the same chipset - but SL still produced the errors. So I replaced
my card with one from Atheros and problems are gone.

It seemed to not be recognized although Windows sees it fine in
another system.
Would someone recommend a good USB Wifi that has current drivers for
SL6.3? Or point me to a list of drivers available in the release
repositories?
It's a long story but we need both wired and wireless on this system
and easier to buy a compatible interface rather than do much work to
find non-standard drivers.
Thank you,
