 the Intel 5100 pci wireless adapter appears to be detected and a 
 reasonable driver is indicated (iwlagn) but the radio does not appear to 
 be on, at least the little antenna like LED is off.  The radio switch is 
 on and the Bluetooth LED is on.   Has any one conquered this yet?

 

 I don't think the LEDs are configured in the current kernels:

 # cat /boot/config-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 | grep LED

 Also, you will need the firmware for this device. Both rpmforge and 
 elrepo.org have it...

 yum install iwl5000-firmware

 I don't think the LEDs are configured in the current kernels:
 

 You want to try installing the centosplus kernel.  Here is the
 relevant bug tracker:

 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3544

 The current cplus kernel has the following:

 CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS=y
 CONFIG_IWLWIFI_LEDS=y
 CONFIG_IWLAGN_LEDS=y
 CONFIG_IWL3945_LEDS=y
 # CONFIG_RT2400PCI_LEDS is not set
 # CONFIG_RT2500PCI_LEDS is not set
 # CONFIG_RT61PCI_LEDS is not set
 # CONFIG_RT2500USB_LEDS is not set
 # CONFIG_RT73USB_LEDS is not set

 Please be sure to read
 http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus
 before using the centosplus repository.

   
Thanks for your reply.

I did the iwl5000-firmware installation that Ned Slider advised and the 
radio appeared to start working.
I then did the transition to the centosplus kernel, following the 
directions in the link that you provided,
and then the LED started working.

Thanks again
