You seem oddly suprised by Redhat 9, which was released March of 2003, not supporting a wireless card out of the box.
A wireless card, which from what I can read in old news stories, came out AFTER Red Hat 9?
To get it to work, "Dont" use 3 year old officially discontinued operating systems.

if you want to stay with red hat 9, which i would suggest changing, you could try using ndiswrapper to configure it. It configures most wireless cards that arent configured automatically |
