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.
