If you are using RHEL, support comes with your license. Have you called Red Hat? I hear that their support is excellent.

You will need to supply more information on what wireless device you have.
run "lscpi -v" to get some information. run "lscpi -n" to get the manid.

For usb devices, use lsusb instead.

Here is a Red Hat help page on installing firmware for a particular wireless device. It should give you an idea how to proceed:
