The wireless tools are definitely installed (checking the rpm database). I don't know what happened, but airport seems to be working. The only thing I can think of is that restarting the system cleaned up any problems that were latent. I was restarting the network service after every change I tried...
FWIW when I start the system-config-network utility from the command line (as opposed to the menu when I get no debug/error messages) I keep getting messages about the wireless component being compiled with version 17 (and version 16 being in use). It doesn't seem to be a problem, but...
