I did by putting the following in it:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
 network={
  ssid="your ssid"
  psk="your passphrase"
  key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
  proto=WPA
 }

And then the following in /etc/rc.d./rc.local

ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -dd &
dhclient wlan0

Worked for me.  My wireless LED still doesn't light up, but at least
it works now.  I don't activate the wireless in
system-config-network-gui because otherwise it just errors out on boot
anyhow (after timing out).  Works great by not activating it there,
and doing the above.
