Smile No wireless connection of Redhat 5 in Hp Pavilion dv6917cl Entertainment notebook


I install redhat 5 from Oracle enterprise- but can't access the wireless network - however, I can access the internet with direct plugging of ethernet wire.

I typed the code #ifconfig -a &&iwconfig- it does not show anything - it accepts

I typed lspci says- the command not found

I have downloaded some drivers or pathes from the websites but they don't run in my laptop.
Thank you
