I don't have a centrino laptop but I use a wireless adapter.

Is your wireless network using WEP?  I don't know how you do set it up
but it is not from the GUI.

Did you set up the wireless connection name as the ESSID of your
wireless network?  If you want, you can set up the connection without a
name and it is going to connect to any network it finds.

I don't know if that will help you but I have had a lot of problems with
my wireless even though my card works in any linux distribution.  I had
all those problems ;)
