Two questions about wireless networking:

First, I would like to use my Netgear WG111T USB wireless adapter. I haven't been able to get it to connect through WinXP (probably because I haven't updated it), but it works as I scan and it recognizes networks in my area. Is there any way I can configure this to work in DSL? I've tried all the wlan options, but all of them look for a wireless card which I don't have.

Also, I have an ancient laptop that has Red Hat Linux on it. However, the CD drive won't read any burned media, and the only network card I have for it is a wireless card (borrowed it from a friend). There's no USB and it's only capable of reading floppy's. If there's a bootdisk that has the drivers for the card (Linkysys Wireless PC Card WPC11) and allows me to do a net install, that would be helpful.
