[NTLUG:Discuss] Wireless NIC Problem

I am trying to set up my Red Hat 8 laptop with a Linksys WPC11 ver. 4
wireless card.  When I run cardctl ident after inserting it I see the
following info on the card.

product info: "Realtek", "Rtl8139"
manfid: 0x0000, 0x024c
function: 6 (network)

The rtl8139 driver is automatically installed on my version of Linux
(8139too) and I have added an alias in modules.conf.  When I try to do an
ifup wlan0 it says there is no 8139too device.  Does anyone have any
experience getting one of these cards working?  I bought it as part of a
Linksys kit with thier 4 port Wireless router and access point.  

I went to the Realtek website and downloaded the driver from them but it
appears to be for the 7.x line of Red Hat.  I cannot load that driver after
I compile it.

Any help would be greatly appreciatted.

Cass
