cannot add wlan0 to Network


I a beginner and I'm having a problem setting up wireless.
I'm am following examples from 2 other sites but I cant get either to work.
So far I can use iwlist wlan0 scan and get the ESSId and Protocol etc of my router. At this point I should be able to go into System Tools->Network Device Control (fedora) and add the new device. But wlan0 is not listed. I have rebooted the comp and tried a modeprobe -m command but the -m option is invalid and rebooting doesnt work. I will keep searching, any help is appreciated.

Can you get the device working from the commandline using iwconfig?
