I've tested it with a Live CD (couldn't make Konqueror resolve URLs, but it just seems it needs it installed for that), and yes, that method works in Fedora 10 too. Although one correction, it should be like this:
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
As there is no speed of 56M. You will also need to either make the changes permanent (or else you'll have to reset it each time you launch your PC) by either putting both lines to the /etc/rc.local file or adding "fixed" at the end of the last command (didn't check this method, though):
