Intel's Wireless 4965AG/AGN (or for that matter 3945ABG, which is mine) driver does not have kernel level support in 2.6.24 which is the kernel RHEL/CentOS uses. Its needs minimum 2.6.26 kernel. I tried in CentOS forums and IRC but did not get any help. May be 'ndiswraper' is the way. But you should be prepared to dirty your hands...
