This sounds like it should work:

Note- This will give you Wine 1.01 (stable, but old/less
compatible); to try to get a newer version, use 
--enablerepo=epel-testing instead of --enablerepo=epel

Also, I presume you'd know to run these as root via su or sudo.

But you might prefer to start with a more current, desktop-oriented
distro, if you aren't sure how to get Wine or set up your wireless.
The kernel that RHEL, CentOS, & SL use is rather old, thus somewhat
short on wireless drivers (although it has backports).
