Well, assuming you're using GNOME:
this worked for me:
# yum -y install caching-nameserver NetworkManager-vpnc
# chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManager on
# chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManagerDispatcher on
# chkconfig --level 345 dhcdbd on
append to /etc/sysconfig/named :
OPTIONS="-D"
(you may then need a reboot)
The nm applet should then appear, and if you click it, should give a list
of available APs. Click on your AP. If it requires authentication details,
then it should just prompt you for the details.
The only problem I have currently is that after a suspend, I have to kick
Netwok manager to make it see the wireless network again:
# service NetworkManager restart
I got most of this from http://www.ces.clemson.edu/linux/nm.shtml,
although it only covers FC5
