I would look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
to see if the entries there are reasonable.
Does the machine the access point is connected to use dhcp?
If so is the /etc/dhcpd.conf entry on that machine correct?
Are you running dhclient?
You could try using Ad-Hoc mode.
Also run "sudo service network restart" after any change.
The WiFi setup under Fedora is very bad.
