Hello! I'm trying MEPIS for the second time after failing to get my wireless network going the first time around. The MEPIS computer is using the infamous DWL-G122 USB adapter/antenna from DLink.

I've read that recently, the ralink (rt2x00) project has had success in creating a driver that will allow that adapter to function properly in Linux. I went to a download site to get it...but unfortunately, instead of a ready-to-run type file, I got one of those Linux "tarballs" I keep seeing - a "tar.gz" file. I have no idea on how exactly to use them. I know that you have to do a recompile or something, but I don't know the procedure. Would someone be willing to tell me STEP BY STEP how to integrate this file/driver/whatever into MEPIS, so I can give it and my USB network adapter another shot?

THANKS!

If it's an rt2500, and if Mephis has maintained anything close to it's Debian roots, It's a piece of cake.
