In reply to Craig, you didn't say exactly what version of the driver you are trying to use, so I've assumed intel-536ep-4.69.tgz which is the latest I can find on Intel's site. David Bowen wrote:

Looking inside the Intel536_inst script we see that it's basically a big if statement that copies files to various locations for various distributions. Debian/Ubuntu is not one of the supported distributions, so you get the error above "unknown distribution" At this point the hamregistry and the driver itself have been installed successfully (as per the previous two messages), what you don't have is the boot scripts. It's a fairly simply matter to install these manually: run the following commands as root: # install -o root -g root -m 755 Intel536_boot /etc/init.d/Intel536 # ln -s ../init.d/Intel536 /etc/rcS.d/S16Intel536 This copies the init script to place and links it into the boot process just after Ubuntu loads the standard modules.
