看了下面的说明，成功了

yum安装不行，我是下载的iwl5000-firmware-8.24.2.12-1.elrepo.noarch.rpm，然后手动安装的

Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN 5100, 5300 and 5350 (iwlagn)

<!> Starting from CentOS 5.3 (kernel 2.6.18-128) the iwlagn kernel module supports Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN 5100, 5300 and 5350 devices.

This device requires firmware which is currently available from http://elrepo.org

 

yum --enablerepo=elrepo install iwl5000-firmware

or if you do not have a working internet connection then download the package here and install it manually using: rpm -Uhv <filename>

Then just reload the iwlagn module:

 

modprobe -r iwlagn; modprobe iwlagn

Your wireless device should now be working.

Enable NetworkManager

to use it.
