Try using NetworkManager.
You can activate it from GNOME menu System->Administration->Services,
find NetworkManager there, make sure you check it and activate the
service by clicking Start button.

The icons should appear in the notification area. Network Manager
automaticaly activates/deactivates network connections, so you don't
need to use system-config-network.

And I assume you have firmware installed for your wireless driver.
