Linksys WPC54GS not working in RedHat 9.0


I recently got a Linksys WPC54GS wireless adapter for my notebook (running RedHat 9.0) and can't seem to find any drivers for the card. RedHat doesn't even list the card in its device list. Does anybody have or know where to find drivers for this card (or have any advice at all)?

Others will have a better idea (I'm still learning too.) but I can tell you one place to start. As root try:
lspci
or you could try:
cat /proc/pci
This will give you information about the plug and play devices (pci) in your system. This information will be what the device reports itself as, and will often help you identify the chipset. For example, my network card was built by d-link but the chipset was made by realtek. It's the realtek driver that I need to use. See if you can identify which line is talking about your hardware and go from there.

Another place to check in the linuxquestions.org HCL (hardware compatibility list)
http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/sh...hp?product=185
This is a similar model to yours, but implementing a wrapper is a little beyond my experience.

Yeah I have the wrapper but I was going to save it for a last resort option since I have no idea how to go about using it...
