I **believe** that in F8, you would want to install and use
NetworkManager/NetworkManager Dispatcher instead of standard
system-config-network as that has integrated control for wireless
adaptors.

Recognize though that Network Manager uses DHCP which I wouldn't expect
to be an issue for you as I know you operate a dhcp server (from ltsp
experience).
