Hi,

Use the Network Configuration Utility. Select your wireless network
device and click on the edit button. Then click on the Wireless Settings
tab. On this page you will be able to enter the all of the wireless
parameters for your network.

One catch, the interface must be a wireless device (icon will have a
little box in the upper right corner with waves radiating to it from the
lower left corner) and not an ethernet device (icon looks like a network
~ card.) If the network card (NIC) is set up as an ethernet device,
simply delete it and add a new wireless device to replace it.

My system initially set its Orinoco wireless lan card up as an ethernet
card and I manually edited the wireless setting files under
/etc/sysconfig/network; however, doing that caused inconsistencies that
rendered the network configuration tool dangerous to useless. It is much
easier, especially when using multiple profiles, to let the
configuration tool handle the network settings.
