WMP11 Driver
I am new at using Linux, so bare with me.... I have a WMP11 card (version 1). I'm pretty sure I have found the right driver for it, but now that I have it I have no clue what to do. The files extention is gz. But whenever I click on it the menu comes up and asks what I want to open it with. How do I get the driver to work?? Thanks

You need to unpack the file. Copy it to a safe place (when you can unpack it), open a terminal, cd to the directory you copied it, then run
tar zxvf filename.tar.gz A new directory will be created (it usually is, but not always), inside there should be INSTALL or README file. Read them, they tell you how to install the driver into your system. In case of problems, post again. |
How do I unpack the file?

Do you know the command line interface at all? If you don't this will be very difficult...
First - copy the file to your "home" directory. Second - open a terminal To "unpack" a gz file, from the command line: Quote:
