You can start by listing all ethernet devices detected by the kernel:
lspci|grep -i eth
iwconfig
If you can't find iwconfig, install the wireless-tools package (yum install wireless-tools). If iwconfig reports a device with wireless extensions, then you're half-way there. Report back and we'll help you associate w/an SSID, enter a Key, etc.
If you don't, you'll need to get the proper driver loaded. Try this site for help:

Also,
What version of CentOS are you using?
What is the vendor/model of your wireless adapter hardware?

The version of Centos is 5.6. The model of the hardware and Intel (see the reference to it)
The computer is a toshiba and Centos detected the wireless card can not ativala more.

Sorry, see the reference to it where? Can you copy-and-paste the output of those commands from your terminal to this thread?

You may also want to look at wicd, it is what I use in slackware, it has both a curses a a gui interface. You can install it from the fedora package on http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php
