What devices show up when you run redhat-config-network?
Mayby you need to restart networking as well
I had to do some failure analysis on some wireless systems some time ago
and found that there are at least a few "standards" and even cards from
different manufacturers supposedly using the same standard may not work
with each other (Google it I did).
The key point then, is first make sure that your card(s) will actually
work on your wireless network.
