Are you using networkmanager? I too have been fighting with this this
afternoon. Two things i did which seemed to kick it into life  in
system-config-network were firstly to probe for the MAC address - I
don't know why, but s-c-n always gets the MAC address wrong until you
tell it to probe it (which plays havoc when you have mac address
access limiting on your AP), and also I set the wireless device to be
in "Auto" mode rather than "Master". Again, no idea why s-c-n
defaulted to Master.
