I don't have any of the madwifi chipset's, so I'm not positive about the 
settings.
But the main network settings on RedHat based distro's are at 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*
/etc/sysconfig/network

For wireless, on SL5, I am finding that the NetworkManager works quite 
well.  It's much better than SL4.  It usually installed but not turned on.
   /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
and then you use the applet (either in gnome or kde)
   nm-applet

Two words of warning.
I haven't had very good luck with NetworkManager when I am plugging in 
and out a wired network cable.  It get's confused depending on the wired 
network card.
It also doesn't follow your configurations that you have in the files. 
It seems to take those into consideration, but follows it's own rules.

I think it would be best to use RedHat's documentation over XenSource's. 
  Not that XenSources isn't good, but that RedHat's is geared towards 
their tools and scripts, while XenScource's is geared towards their 
tools and such.

We currently can't link to RedHat's documentation, but we are working on 
the legalities of putting it on our website.  We  believe we can because 
of the way they have licensed it.  Anyway, for now here is where the 
redhat documentation is at.
