I didn't not install it from the installation but waited until the OS came up before configuring it. Launched MCC, selected network wizard. This successfully detected my card and my modem. I selected to configure my wireless card. The wireless configuration screen was displayed. I entered my details for ESSID and WEP Key (As an aside why doesn't it display the two format types that the key can be entered in - a new person will wonder why they can't configure the card correctly if they enter the key as a string instead of a hex sequence). The wizard does it's configuration and the network can be seen, the finish wizard page is shown. When you press the finish button it overwrites /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifet0-cfg file with one which does not contain the wireless information. Hence, when it goes back to main network menu the network fails as it issues a restart along the way. The frig is to copy the ifeth0-cfg file before pressing the finish button, and then copy it back after closing MCC, and then re-issue the ifup eth0
