ok, got it now working. it is really a pig, like already said. ifconfig
-a told me later, that there exist a device called wlan0 -
system-config-network didn't.

so, as a first step, i called it manually with ifconfig wlan0 inet
[ipadress] netmask [netmask] up -> this worked fine.

afterwards, it was also known in system-config-network, so i could do
the rest there.
