Sure. Here's a diff and a brief explanation.

I added the WPA and WPADRIVER variables to my ifcfg script (eth1 in my
case) and created a proper wpa_supplicant config file. A basic config
looks something like this:
# allow frontend (e.g., wpa_cli) to be used by all users in 'wheel' group
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
#ap_scan=2
#
# home network
network={
ssid="YOURNET"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="super-secret-passphrase"
}
I had created the ifcfg-eth1 file using system-config-network while
trying to see if it would support wpa, so all I had to do was tweak a
few things by hand afterward.
HTH,

OK this is strange I don't have an ifdown-wireless script.
I've added the lines from the first step into ifdown-eth, went to do the
next step and found this file does not exist, despite there being an
ifup-wireless script.
An ls -l of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ gives:
