WiFi Connection Failure on Intel Corporation WiFi Link 5100
I am currently installing Scientific Linux on a laptop and, except for now, there have been no issues. I find that the Wireless connection is not working.
I am using the Scientific Linux 5
uname -r
2.6.18-238.5.1.el5

When opening the Networks, I see the ethernet (eth0) active and it is functioning fine. The wlan0 is inactive and attempts to activate it give the following:
Quote:
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Determining IP information for wlan0...

I also checked the HCL for any asstistance and didn't see the network card listed anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
