Cool, I got the thing to extract and setup. I thought I would be tricky and run "iwconfig" but it reports back no wireless devices. I guess I need to read up some more before proceeding further. At least I made some progress. Thanks for the help so far. Regards John ----- Original Message Follows -----

Hi John,

I'll step through and point out what was wrong with each command. On Tue, 2004-09-14 at 15:24, jaytee(a)clear.net.nz wrote:

I'm not quite sure where the / here comes from, it is what is causing the problem.

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.
