Right, so did you do the yum.... command I mentioned, as root? And do you have a later kernel than 3.2.0? uname -a will tell you.
Once you have installed the firmware package, then you should see firmware loaded in your dmesg output, use dmesg | more to page through the messages.

Thanks Brain,
Found the 2230 driver, but am now stuck on this part? (install the packages that install the actual wireless firmware)..Your right, the driver files can't be read, so I must need some software for the drivers to install/work??..anyone no where to find this package and/or a how to get these drivers to install?....arghhh this Linux experiment is really starting to backfire.

Looks like you have one of these:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/centrino-wireless-n-2230.html
I am not sure if iwlwifi supports this device, but that is the most likely driver that you need....right a look here:
http://intellinuxwireless.org/
reveals that the 2230 is supported provided that you have a kernel of version 3.2.0 or later. You will also need to install the packages that install the actual wireless firmware, which should contain a microcode file named something like this.
iwlwifi-2030-ucode-18.168.6.1
It seems as if there is an iwl2030-firmware package in updates-testing, you will need to run:
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install iwl2030-firmware
as root, that should then allow your wireless to be detected and to work.
This is a pretty new chipset BTW, hence Fedora is still catching up.
