Thanks for your reply.
I'm using a fresh RH9 install onto a SCSI drive. (XP is on IDE, I toggle the BIOS to switch between the two because of XP MBR issues)
I found and am following this to hopefully configure and install the 2.4.23 kernel to support a DWL-122:

I didn't notice the above error the first time around, and received the following error when attempting to boot the new kernel:
booting command-list
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem is extfs,partition type 0x83
Kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.23 ro root=LABEL =/ hdc=ide-scsi
Error 15: File not found
My thought is once I get the kernel setup correctly, I'll use wlan-ng or ndiswrapper for the DWL-122.
I'm going to go through the links you've posted and see where I end up.
Thanks for your help.
