How to install a driver for AVM Wlan-stick?

English Hardware

Hello everyone!

I just installed openSUSE 11.1 and I am amazed because it is a lot better :slight_smile: than Windows XP which I am using right now because I couldn’t make it to connect to the internet.:’(

I failed to install the fritz! USB Wlan stick from AVM. I guess it is because I don’t know how to install the driver - the rest seems easy.

I downloaded a file from avm.de: fwlanusb-1.00.00.tar.gz
I opened and extracted it, and don’t know how to install it. Sure it’s easy but as a newbie I don’t know the klicks. There is a folder on my hard disk containing also a file “install” which seems to be a script. Could this help?

I am grateful for every kind of help!
Thanks a lot!
