RHEL v4 supports wireless.

The RH provided drivers are found on the "extras" disc.
The provided drivers are for Intel Wireless cards: 2100, 2200 for sure and
possibly other Intel wireless cards.
I don't recall any drivers other than the Intel cards.

I have loaded RHEL v5 on a laptop but haven't looked at the wireless.  I
assume it will have the 29xx and 3945 drivers.

I only use Intel wireless cards on Linux.
