Ole Raptor 19 Posting Whiz in Training

Hello,
I am running Fedora Core 8. I have a wireless nic that i am attempting to use. I have this setup as eth1. I have entered the security and other wireless information. when i try to save this and set this up i get a "failure to connect check wire?"
I have looked at the help for the OS but cant find anything that will help. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Thanx
