Under fc5 and fc6 I run wpa_supplicant and the network scripts.  The
wireless with WPA2 comes up automatically as expected.  The only
change needed is that wpa_supplicant init needs to be called before
the networking scripts are called.

emacs /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant 
- chkconfig:   - 12 88
+ chkconfig:   - 9 88

chkconfig wpa_supplicant on

This is much more extensive than I use.  (Not to say this is a bad
idea, but this is more intrusive than needed to get things working.)
