short answer (I had the same problem, and this has been pointed to
yesterday):
1) add livna (http://rpm.livna.org/) to your repositories; you can do
that downloading and installing an rpm file from the page
http://rpm.livna.org/configuration.html .
2) install the ipw2200 package giving the command:
yum install ipw2200-firmware
3) enjoy your centrino :-) if you get something like the following
error in dmesg
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ipw2200: Unable to load ucode: -62
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -62
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:03.0 failed with error -5
and consequently e.g. iwconfig eth1 answers with "no such device",
give the following commands (from the ipw2200.sourceforge.net site):
echo 100 > /sys/class/firmware/timeout
modprobe -r ipw2200
modprobe ipw2200
