I have RedHat 9 running on my laptop with a Linksys WPC54G PCMCIA card.
Although Windows XP (I dual boot it on the same computer) detects and uses
the card just file, Linkux seems to have some problems using the card.

The card is detected fine (Linux detects that it's a Broadcom chipset, etc.)
but Linux fails to detect that it's a LAN/wLan card.

I believe the problem lies in the fact that the card is missing drivers, but
I can't seem to find the drivers anywhere.  Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you tried the 2.4.21 kernel? There are some major improvements in
some of the wireless drivers in 2.4.21. Don't know if that chipset is
handled by the drivers in 2.4.21 but it's worth a try.
