I might try a different distro, just to see if it detects the wireless - it might give me a better idea of what I need to do in RH.
Sorry, I wasn't sure what make/model you were referring to, and at the time, I only knew what I sent you. I believe the wireless card is an Askey Prism 2.5 mini-pci card. I have a message into the notebook mfg to make sure of this. I have seen posts on the mfgs site that state other versions of Linux (Mandrake, Gentoo) have detected the card on install. I'll let you know if I get more specific information.
What driver did Knoppix choose for your card (just curious). Regardless, you're going to want to use the linux-wlan project drivers,
they have much better support for the prism chipsets than any of the
"generic" drivers (including HostAP support). I suggest you download
and install the appropriate driver RPMs from this guy:

You'll want to install the kernel-wlan-ng base package, the appropriate kernel-wlan-ng-modules package (to match your kernel), and the proper interface package to support your hardware (pcmcia, usb or pci).
Thanks for the help so far.
