setting up D-link DWL-650 w/red hat 9
 

Hey guys, I have searched and read as many threads as I could find about this, tried a number of things, hoping I didn't mess up my PC in trying this.

Admittedly, I have just started messing around with Linux, and am still struggling with where commands and GUI interface lines are crossed. I have kernel version 2.4.20-31.9, trying to get this damn wireless card working, but I can't get it to even mount. I have pretty much verified that the card is based on the reltek 8180 chipset, and have downloaded the driver from reltek's website. Here's where I am at a loss, even after reading the read me which is mostly greek to me, I really don't know what to do to install the driver.

here is the output of lspci:
