i don't have that card or FC2, but have you tried editing your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (not sure if that's where it
is in FC2) file directly?
are the 'wireless networks in your vicinity' WEP/WAP protected? do you
know the keys?

try adding some of these options, from the info you get from 'iwlist
scan', to your ifcfg-eth0 file:
wireless_essid whateveryouget
wireless_key needtoknowthekey
wireless_mode Managed
