I managed to install FC6 on my sony vaio, and I can't get the builtin

I had this working in FC4 and FC5 with the ipw2200 intel driver. I
installed the latest versions from atrpms. Now I didn't have to do that,

Has anybody succeeded with centrino wireless? I don't know if I'm doing
yes.

something wrong, or if it's a bug. I disabled WEP encryption in the router.
The wireless interface does show up in the network configuration gui, but
when I activate it, it says no cable (or link) present.

Any suggestions?

are the devices correct ? means is your ethx your wireless-device ?
maybe a modprobe -rv ipw2200 and modprobe -sv ipw2200 correct this.

what does iwlist <your-wlan-device-here> scan show (then) ?

did you install the firmware ?

i use the firmware from livna !
