In this tutorial, I will guide you through the necessary steps to install ipw3945 wireless adapter on a CentOS / RHEL based distribution.It is written for CentOS 5.2. However, it might work on other CentOS 5.x based distributions as well.

You need to have rpmforge-release package installed. You can download it from DAG (http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpmforge-release/).

yum install ipw3945d ipw3945-firmware dkms dkms-ipw3945 wpa_supplicant

The problem with Kickstart is that it usually uses the distribution's packages from the time the distribution was released, i.e., it does not consider updates which means you would have to update each system manually after the Kickstart installation. This guide explains how you can do up-to-date Kickstart installations w
