Hi, with my other (normal) distros I usually just:
  - vi the /etc/pcmcia/wireless.conf file and nominate my card there 
[you can know your 6 digits card ID from dmesg; or from windows if 
necessary. The first 3 of the 3 digits is your manufacturer's id, the 
last 3 is your card's id. Ignore the manufacturer's id and replace it 
with *,*,*.]
  - as root under /root do "$ ifconfig &"
  - and at last: dhcpcd &
  - that's it! And everything works.

But as I checkout RH8, I couldn't find the wireless.conf file!!

At first I thought I could help you, but now I'm answering myself as 
well....:)

But I'll try to find out how to get the wireless.conf file.
