Unless you have a reason for sticking with Red Hat, look at Ubuntu. It plays nice with my two laptops (Dell 8500 & HP something or another). I have to enable the "Restricted Drivers Manager" but then the wireless works - for me.
Try a liveCD, it may pickup the wireless too - which should tell you something.

Sounds like it might be a driver problem. I'm no pro, but I've had luck using ndiswrapper. It builds a linux drive out of the windows driver that (presumably) came with the router.
You're probably better checking out the red-hat/Fedora help pages than here though.
