Oh, and I’ll be going to to get the most updated drivers, but if you have a question about what else is in the folder let me know. can I get a bit of help here? I have a wireless WAP2 network in the house and I’d like the connection bit to be as painless as possible (I’m putting this laptop in the parlor to stream music through the receiver, so ease for the rest of the family would be great).īoth specific (getting this to work) and general (pointing me to a good resource to understand drivers and makefiles in Linux) will be very appreciated. There’s also a config file, but I’m not sure what to do with it/where it goes.

Set the 'MODE = STA' in Makefile and chose the TARGET to Linux by set 'TARGET = LINUX'ĭefine the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC but what is $tar? I thought tar was a file format? Does $tar unzip? I’ll paste the whole thing below in a CODE box, but here’s where it seems to almost make sense to me. I’m unfortunately too new to know what to make of it. I am an absolute beginner (still), so I can’t make heads nor tails of the ReadMe file in the (assumed) driver folder. I assume the first has the actual drivers, the second has a Web user interface.Īnd, well, that’s about as far as I got. On the CD there are two Linux-related folders: The adapter came with a Linux CD, but alas, no self-running installation files (that I can find). I have an Edimax EW-7718UN wireless LAN USB adapter that I’d like to use with an eight-year-old Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop running Ubuntu 8.04 (desktop).
