Ok
Now you have to extract files from the package if not already done. Open the README file that comes with and follow the instructions for your distribution of Linux. Here the informations should be updated if it is the latest driver from D-link you have downloaded
Build the right module for your kernel revision, all should be explained in the README file If not ask me again later
And then load it into your kernel, by adding a line:
alias eth0 your_module_name_without_.o
or
alias wlan0 your_module_name_without_.o
into your /etc/modules.conf file
wlan0 or eth0 depends of the distribution you have to check yours in /etc/sysconfig/network/ or something like that
When it is done restart system
After that the card will be recognized by the linux core normally
Next come the configuration of the network and the control of its behavior
For that purpose you need some network utilities to be installed
I think it's "modutils" look into GUI control center and search for
packages manager
To check if installed you can also simply try to execute them in the console as root:
ifconfig
iwconfig
iwlist
iwpriv
iwspy
netstat
and see what happenned
The first 2 are really important
forget the others for the moment
But don't forget you can either configure your network via the command line with the above utilities -rather temporary configuration cause you will have to do it every time you boot-
or by modifying the network config files
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 (or ifcfg-wlan0 it depends)
There are sample files normally that you can have a look for the correct syntax.
And there you can set hostname IP address router ie for the box on your LAN
Everything
Tell me what happenned A+
