There is one thing that confuses me though...
according to the pages, this driver should be included as of kernel version 2.6.12 ...
so why didn't it recognize it your card immediately? Or perhaps I'm just misunderstanding how the inclusion of drivers in the Linux kernel(s) works...
As for how to install it, I
think it's just a matter of unzipping it in the proper directory (I forgot but you can run a search for ".o" files ... I think it should be somewhere in /etc/ if I'm not mistaken) and then opening up Yast and pointing the setup wizard to the right module (the one you unpacked).
Quote:
tar.gz is a linux compression/archive format. If you are running KDE, you can typically open up konqueror (the kde file manager), right click, and select to unarchive/uncompress. It will likely create a subdirectory, possibly by the same name "orinoco-015rc2". Navigate to that subdirectory, and look for a "README.txt" file or a "INSTALL.txt" file.
The above is a standard "convention" for tarballs (affectionate name for "tar.gz" files). Unfortunately, not everyone follows the convention.
