Description garrickyang 2012-04-20 06:28:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
There is no integrated driver for Intel N-2200 wireless card in RHEL 6.2
kernel.  We are doing hardware certification with this card, and can't pass the
cert with third-part drivers. This case impacted our several machines'
certification(Thinkpad T430i/L430).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.2 x86

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 6.2 x86.
2. Check the wireless connection.
3. Check pci info and loaded modules.
  
Actual results:
The wireless card are listed in pci info, but it can't work, no driver to
support it.

Expected results:
WLAN card can work normally.
Comment 2 John W. Linville 2012-04-27 13:07:36 UTC 
Can we see the 'lspci -n' output for the card?
Comment 3 John W. Linville 2012-04-27 13:20:57 UTC 
Actually, I think we have the necessary info.  Those devices weren't available when the iwlwifi driver was last updated in the 6.1 timeframe.  But they will be supported in 6.3.
