[CentOS] Configure wireless USB ethernet

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

I did it by hand first and then completely restarted the server.  In both
cases the service started, but it did not bring the interface up as far as
it connecting to my wireless and getting an IP from the router.

Do I have to create an ifcfg-wlan0 file for the interface?  If so, what
goes in it?  How do I tell it what network cell and password?  Or does that
information only reside in wpa_supplicant.conf (where it is now.)
