What kernel are you using - I'm guessing it's older than the 2.6.37 ?

http://intellinuxwireless.org/ advises:

the minimum version is indicated below

Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 100 (2.6.37)

Have you tried adding a connection using

PCC (Configure Your Computer)  Network & Internet > Set Up a New Network Interface....

BTW, are you running in a regular user account or in the root account?

Hi mino,

uname -r

lspci -v -s 03:00.0

I am running in a regular user account.
So I have to try update kernel?
