Wireless quit working after update to 2.6.10 kernel

[Samuel Díaz García]

Update your "wireless-tools" package, it seems to be that the problem.

The wireless tools (iwlist, iwconfig, etc...) and drivers need to be 
compatible with (at least) the version of your kernel wireless extensions.

I think if you use 'yum' or 'up2date' the wireless tools will be 
available for your kernel & driver wireless extension version.

Good luck.
