There is still an issue with the Centos OS not having an adequate driver for
your network card. This happens frequently when the hardware or chipsets are
new and the distro has not caught up yet.

You should be able to search the centos forums for your hardware and centos
5.2 and see if there is a workaround. Other workarounds would be to install
the latest version of centos as a base install (like 5.4) if it supports
your network card, then add the sipx repo and install sipx that way Caution:
Doing this may require some tweaking and some would warn against doing so.

Plainer hardware usually generates no issues, but extra small hardware or
extra management capabilities make this problematic at time (especially with
the new Intel management stuff).

Why do mathematicians always confuse Halloween and Christmas?
Because 31 Oct = 25 Dec.
