Red Hat 9 is dead, by the way.  You might want to install one of the
Fedora Core distributions (I consider Fedora Core 3 ready for prime
time, now.).

All of the Fedora releases include the b44 (Broadcom 4400) driver pre-
built.

NOTE:  The b44 driver is NOT for the Broadcom wireless chips.  AFAIK,
you still need to run ndiswrapper and the Windows XP/2000 drivers.
