installed driver for wireless pc card, now what?


I just installed the drivers for my wireless card. At least I think I did, when I typed "make clean all install" after I "make config"ed the driver files, it spit a bunch of words at me and they included the word "error" a few times. That gave me a sneaking suspicion that it may not have worked, but in the event that it did, what do I do now? How do I tell if it worked and if it did, how do I set it up to connect with my network's internet connection? Do I need any software that dosen't come with Red Hat Nine? I am very new to Linux (I just figured out yesterday that you have to cd to the directory with the driver files in it before you can type "make config" into the text command line window thingy.)Please help.
