Once iwconfig shows that you have a link to an AP (with Rate and
Frequency info), you still have to configure the IP layer.  I suspect
you need DHCP.  I don't know how how RedHat sets this up for wireless
devices, but have a look in network.opts.  in the meantime you could
try something like "pump -i eth1" or "dhclient eth1" or something like
that.  then run ifconfig.
