Ok, got it installed and I can get the interface to scan and I can see all of the available cells (all of my neighbors), including my own. However when I do a test connect, this is what I get back:
Trying to associate with e0:46:9a:35:fb:98 (SSID='Nymphadora' freq=2412 MHz) ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: Device or resource busy Association request to the driver failed Associated with 00:00:00:00:00:00 CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=e0:46:9a:35:fb:98 reason=0
Over and over and over again.
Please note, NetworkManager is still running. If I stop NM, that interface disappears and an attempt to scan tells me:
iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
So evidently, I need NM running for the interface to be present. How can I do that without NM?

Great ... now how do I configure this sucker? When I turn NM off, that interface disappears. I'm assuming I can create an 'ifcfg-wlan0' configuration but what do I need to put in there so it knows to connect
to
my home wireless (with password) and all of that fun and exciting stuff, and continue to do that over a reboot.
Using wpa_supplicant. If it is not installed, yum install wpa_supplicant and you will need to edit /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant and /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. Examples are in /usr/share/doc/wpa_supplicant-* or plenty of them online .. You probably also need to rename/mv the SXXwpa_supplicant in your /etc/rcX.d to start wpa_supplicant before network.
You don't need NM. I don't ever use it. I wonder if NM is causing the problem. I would stop NM and make sure you have wpa_supplicant set up right .. or at least the part in /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant and then stop network and wpa_supplicant, start wpa_supplicant and try iwlist wlan0 scan.
