Did you follow the rest of the instructions to go read the README files? Perhaps your answer is in there?

I followed the instructions to download the driver through Yum, and it installed properly.  Now what?  When I go to system/applications/network, and try to activate the wireless, it says it can't determine the ip address - to check to see if the cable is connected.  Arrrrrrrrrrr!
