OK. I'm glad to hear that.

I'm currently running CentOS 5.1 on that machine which is kernel
2.6.18. I think when RH establishes a kernel for a major version they
stick to it. Perhaps when 5.2 comes out it'll have the driver. As it
is now, CentOS does not have any stock packages with "4965" or "wifi"
in the name.
