This config below is for two wireless networks...I have one at home and at work that I could connect to. Obviously you need to change the SSID and passkeys to your relevant info. If you only need to connect to one wlan, then leave the 2nd one off.

Because the wireless MAC address changes for some reason and Udev assigns it a different name. Deleting that file will make Udev redetect it as wlan0

'''UPDATE'''

I had issues updating via yum, and I had to rebuild the database. Boot into Maemo and mount and chroot the Fedora partition. Then run
 
-
      rm -f /var/lib/__db*
 
-
and then
 
-
      rpm --rebuilddb
 
-
 
-
Once it's done you should be able to run yum
