No, this is not related to that bug.
I just checked initrd.img and I can see both the ipw driver and its
firmware blobs so in theory it should work. Now to the real problem,
the code base here, RHEL6, is rather old and it doesn't support very
well wireless devices during installation. I checked anaconda and I
don't see code to configure the wireless but I see boot options that
you can use to try to proceed.
So, on boot hit tab to be offered to enter options. Once there add
the following (modify for your local network);
allowwireless essid=mywirelessnetname wepkey=wepkey
These are all of the available options for configuring wireless. One
to turn it on, one to set the wireless network name and one for the
wepkey, yes, wepkey. Not sure if it would accept wpa2 key but sounds
unlikely.
I'd install over wired interface if at all possible...
