I am attempting to install a driver set for my usb wireless adapter. The instructions I have are: ********************************************************* *** SMC WLan USB Card 11Mbps *** *** Linux Device Driver *** ********************************************************* 1. Install driver a) untar the package using the command: ---> tar zxvf SMC_USB_WIRELESS_2662W.tar.gz b) cd SMC_USB_WIRELESS_2662W c) ./setup.sh 2. Support a) Support RedHat 7.1, Redhat 7.2, Redhat 7.3 b) linux-kernel 2.4.17, 2.4.18 3. Module Parameters| --------------------| |------ In order to reconfigure the USB card you have to use one of the applications which comes with the driver. fvnet(command line utility) or xvnet (a graphical interface for the X windows), or the wireless tools (not tested and not recommended). For help for the fvnet and xvnet applications use the corresponding man pages. (man xvnet or man fvnet). Some of my attempts to write a command are: john(a)linux:~> su Password: linux:/home/john # ---> tar zxvf SMC_USB_WIRELESS_2662W.tar.gz bash: ---: command not found linux:/home/john # / tar zxvf SMC_USB_WIRELESS_2662W.tar.gz bash: /: is a directory 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 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors linux:/home/john # The folder is called SMC2662WV2 Linux.tar.gz Clicking this folder gives SMC_USB_WIRELESS_2662W Which shows on the location bar: tar:/home/john/SMC2662WV2_Linux.tar.gz I THINK that I am only a keystroke or two from getting this :-( Regards John
