Yes, You are right some hardware is unsupported in RHEL 5.3 if you have got latest laptop.

You have to find drivers and install it. If RHEL is not compulsory then you can try Fedora. It will detect drivers.

Also you can try RHEL 6 Beta.

Hope this helps.

I have also visited to dell download center for drivers/help

for this but not found.

Please help me on this ASAP

Hi Siddharth

Well, Dell laptops don't like linux i believe :)

All the time i found only the way is too go and check what hardware you have for network/vga and get the respective drivers from its manufactures website.

i.e in case broadcom wireless driver you will get it from broadcom site. (which is usually the case for Dell laptops)

bellow is the link in case you have got broadcom wireless device.

http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

Can also try RHEL 5.4, i tried same on my Dell Studio and at least LAN/VGA worked, however i was not able to make wireless working..
