what type of card is it? have you tried searching the forums? i have a feeling you will want to look up ndis wrapper.

If you know the device, you can search on the internet for it.
If you don't find info on that device, try to determine the chipset of it. With that chipset you can see what driver you need or how you can get it to work.

As a last resort I would use ndiswrapper.

What version of RHEL are you using?
Whats the kernel version (use command uname -r to see)?
What is the brand and model of your card?

Its a bit hard to help you if you give very little information.

PS: There is no need to post your messages in red...
