I just installed the Centos 5 beta which is based on RHEL 5.

The normal networking configuration tool handles wireless configuration as 
well, but it appears as though the system does not have the appropriate 
firmware out of box for my Intel IPW2200 card.  The configuration tool 
did not even provide any indication that it has wireless configuration 
options until I manually installed the needed firmware.

What wireless chipset are you using?  Perhaps you're having a similiar 
problem.
