I might have forgot to mention that i got the firmware.agent installed.
First just grabed the debian one, but later on tool it from
installing hotplug from fedora-devel 

[root at tc /]# rpm -qf /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent 
hotplug-2004_01_05-1

Insertion of the card triggers the firmware loading as expected. After
that it's accessible just by normal ifconfig. I don't use WEP on this
LAN. Only MAC-based access restrictions to keep lamest (l)users out :)
