Here's a very abbreviated version of what you need to do:

1. Download the firmware for your wireless card. The wireless card you
have needs uses the ipw2200 driver and firmware
(http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_PRO/Wireless_2915ABG_Mini-PCI_Adapter), but I think you should not need to download the driver nor the ieeeXXX.rpm packages.

2. Install the firmware rpm. There is a very good HOWTO here:
http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/fc2-ipw2200.shtml

3. If you have a GUI installed, you can try to get the card detected.
For myself, I hand-edited the corresponding network interface file.

4. Restart network and you should be good to go !
