You can see if it is installed with the command: rpm -qa | egrep "NetworkManager|wpa_supplicant" If installed, the output is similar to this: NetworkManager-0.6.4-8.el5 NetworkManager-glib-0.6.4-8.el5 NetworkManager-gnome-0.6.4-8.el5 wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-10.2.el5 If not, install with thsi command: yum install NetworkManger\* wpa_supplicant The run NetworkManager from the command line. You will see a NetworkManager applet beside the clock and you should be able to click it and pick a network. Here are more details for how to setup NetworkManager: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/NetworkManagerThe OP was wondering if this was possible from the live CD - I'm wondering if installing a (missing?) package is the right solution in /that/ case. For (normal) CentOS, I have used a USB plugin wireless adapter on my laptop with excellent success, although it is not as easy as (okay, I won't name that other excuse for an OS) 1-2-3 - it takes some looking to find the whole enchilada, but it /is/ find-able.
you can install packages on the live CD for centos-5
