iwconfig is what you are looking for, try it on its own and it should show 
current channel any associated access points etc and with options you can set 
channel, various ids wep etc.

once working you can combine all the iwconfig and ifconfig stuff 
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 etc...
