Can i know which brand of wireless nic card can be work with Redhat Linux Enterprise WS?
And how do i configure it? Is it same as configure a normal nic card?
Thanks

You can get a large list of compatible devices here. Once the NIC has been detected you can use iwconfig (part of the wireless package) to configure it.

For the command, is it "ifconfig" instead of "iwconfig"??
Correct me if i'm wrong, 'cause i'm new in Linux world

I didn't spell it wrong, it's 'iwconfig' ("interface wireless config") instead of 'ifconfig' ("interface config").

OK, thanks.....
One more question, do i need to update the kernel in order to support for the wireless nic???
If i'm not mistaken, the kernel is 2.4.20...
Thanks again..

Your kernel should support wireless interfaces, but anyways, you should update your kernel due to security reasons (there are lots of exploits out there).

The list above is not new.
There is another wireless nic out which uses the ralink chipset...
This chipset i have used, and found it to be automatically detected by Linux...
This is surely a leap in the compatibility range for wireless network cards in Linux...
I bought my card off comlynx communications ltd, and i must say i highly recommend it to anyone.
Cheers
