I have a fedora Core 7 hp laptop. The problem that is present is that the light on the wireless button is never activated so the light always stays off. I found that every time I toggled the wireless button I had to reboot the system for the kernel to recognize the change in status of the wireless card. Rebotting each time you toggle the button a real pain, and I recently got bitten again when someone using my laptop toggled the button without my knowledge. If you are using NetworkManager you should see a status icon in the top task bar. If you know that you have wireless systems in range they will be present in the NetworkManager drop down window. If your wireless button is toggled off none will appear. Another tool you can use to determine the presence of wireless networks is nm-tool. Hope this helps you... it took me three days to figure out the toggle problem.
