I thought FC4 was pretty bad at setting up WiFi, but FC5 seems even worse. Basically, I was only able to do it "by hand", writing out /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and giving explicit route/ip commands to start WiFi working. I gathered from the documentation that FC5 relies on NetworkManager, but this did not appear to be running after installation. In my case, when I chkconfig-ed NetworkManager on, and re-booted, I was not connected to my dhcp LAN, and no NM applet appeared in my KDE panel as I had expected. The whole WiFi setup is a bit of a mess, in my experience.
Turn on NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher services. -Dan
