 1) Which driver can I use?

Others have made their suggestions on this point.

 2) How can I configure (using a gui) a wireless card?

Create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 (or whatever interface)
containing:

TYPE=Wireless

Then running neat should give you the option of configuring a wireless
interface for it, including the appropriate drivers and parameters.

I believe I've read, here, that the orinoco driver should work.

Yeah maybe, but this one is also not in neat's adapters list.

Furthermore, is there a specific wireless configuration gui 
(e.g., to set the ESSID, etc)?

RE: Configuration for Wireless

prism2_cs works also, that's what I'm using.  As a side note, since 7.2 (I
think, could have been 7.1) the install configures this card automagically
(I use the same card, beware of lockups though, if you lock up, eject and
reseat the card).  I don't think the new Neat (7.3 and higher) has wireless
config options.  I've been looking for them ever since so I can configure
the wireless AND cabled nics.  Hopefully someone from redhat will respond as
to why this option was removed.

Actually, I read more on this list. Apparently (as a user coming from
Mandrake 8.2), RH7.3 is a shitty version compared to RH7.2... I have
had lots of problem related to bugs. Anyway, I just submitted a bug
about this to RH through bugzilla. Hopefully a new redhat-config-network
will be delivered soon.
