Wireless network config

Hi all.  I've been working on getting FC1 up and running on my new laptop,
and one thing that has really been frustrating me is wireless networking.
So far I've got the driver loaded thanks to ndis-wrapper and I can bring the
interface up with ifconfig wlan0 up, but I can't seem to figure out how to
get it to connect to my AP, pick up an address, anywhere to put in wep
passcode etc.  Can anyone point me to a good resource online for configuring
wireless nics?  What would be great is a util that can manage different
configs.  I'm probably missing something, but to me, easy wireless
configuration is something that linux seems to be failing at right now.

Thanks
Chris Manning
