pcmciautils-014-11.fc8 seems to be the answer.

from memory, iwconfig is the tool to use. By the way, did you upgrade to
or fresh install F8 ?
There are some bits of F8 that don't get installed when doing an
upgrade, but I forget which {see release notes/common issues}. Perhaps
your card works out of the box and doesn't need hand configs anymore ?

I think it was the kernel initiating a PC speaker beep. If you have
disabled PC speaker sounds then it may disable that too.
Want some feedback: tail -f /var/log/messages
