Installing Wireless Card Drivers

Hi all, anyone know if this card (Linksys Wireless G - Model WMP54G) is compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
Anyone know how to install and configure the card? I need to set up WEP and I need to use a static i.p.

thx

First, you need to figure out hardware version of your card.
It seems that v3 uses Broadcom chip and that v4 uses ralink chip.

I have no experience with your card, so I can only guess,
Code:
lspci
can give you any clue??

says that v2 used Broadcom chips.
