Hi John,
I'll step through and point out what was wrong with each command.

I'm not quite sure where the / here comes from, it is what is causing the problem.
linux:/home/john # tar zxvf SMC_USB_WIRELESS_2662.tar.gz tar: SMC_USB_WIRELESS_2662.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
6) If you can see the filename SMC_USB_WIRELESS_2662.tar.gz in the output of the previous command continue, otherwise go back to step 1
It looks like those filenames are subtly different. SMC_USB_WIRELESS_2662W.tar.gz versus SMC_USB_WIRELESS_2662.tar.gz (without a "W" following the 2662). Make sure you use the correct one for the "tar" command, depending on what the file is actually called. John McPherson
