Just installed Centos 5.3 64 bit on a new machine.
It found and recognized the network card just fine but activating it end in errors
Determining IP information for eth1...failed; no link present. Check cable?
This is a wirelss so a cable is obviously not the problem.
If I go into network setup gui I can set the wirelss settings and give my security key (wireless is WEP and open)
It is the asus wireless network card WL-138G but deep down I think it is broadcom BCM4318 AirForce one 54G.
Did you rename the card to eth1? On a default setup, the first wired interface is usually called eth0. Is it possible you have a wired and a wireless interface on your machine?
Ok I have now changed from CentOS53. 64 bit to Fedore core 11 32 bit and that at least recognizes the onboard LAN. I found threads that for the onboard lan to work I need at least kernel 2.6.21 and for whatever reason the CentOs was 6.2.18. Fedora is 6.2.29
