You can see if it is installed with the command:
rpm -qa | egrep "NetworkManager|wpa_supplicant"
If installed, the output is similar to this:
NetworkManager-0.6.4-8.el5 NetworkManager-glib-0.6.4-8.el5 NetworkManager-gnome-0.6.4-8.el5 wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-10.2.el5
If not, install with thsi command:
yum install NetworkManger* wpa_supplicant
The run NetworkManager from the command line.
You will see a NetworkManager applet beside the clock and you should be able to click it and pick a network.
Here are more details for how to setup NetworkManager:
Although not quite as extensive as the Fedora Wiki page, we have our own CentOS Wiki for NetworkManager at:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/NetworkManager
At the bottom of the page it says "There is nothing more to it !" :-D
