You don't need to do anything except put the firmware in the /lib/firmware directory. Get them here:

You might even find them in your repository.

Just download the appropriate package from the site I mentioned, unpack the tar and put the file(s) in the /lib/firmware directory.

You're running Red Hat which I am pretty sure uses that system as Mandriva does.

After that, I assume RHEL has some sort of Netowk Control Centre to set the device up.
