It depends on which model and when you bought it.  Newer ones are available with a Linksys 54Mbps 802.11g card (I think it's a free upgrade to move out-of-production hardware).  Otherwise, it's an Orinoco 802.11b chipset, which works fine with RH9 using the 'orinoco_pci' kernel module (load with `modprobe orinoco_pci`).

And yet another question... I have a wireless card on the laptop as well, 
and RH didn't pick it up on the install, anyone have any ideas of what I 
need to do?  I can't get RH to recognize it in any way, however, I don't 
know much about linux yet (working on it though).  I don't know what 
namebrand or model it is, but it's on the common install for the 5000 series 
laptops if that helps anyone.
