I'm a noob at this and i was just wondering when you say

Quote:

Run ./Configure

do you mean double click the file configure in the folder where you extracted the wlan driver tar ball thing to, or do you go into a terminal and go to the directory and type ./configure? because i've tryed both and when i double click the configure file it asks me to either display, run, help, or run in terminal and iv'e tryed both run ways and nothing has happaned and i also tryed doing it in the terminal and it couldn't it said file or directory doesn't exist i typed in

Code:

exec /home/llamatank/wlan-patch/configure

adn that didn't work i've even navigated to the directory in the terminal and typed

Code:

./configure

Code:

exec ./configure

Code:

exec configure

and no questions have ever come up. i know i'm doing someting wrong and its probably something very noobish can someone help me out please.

when you

Code:

./configure

it should work. Make sure there is file named configure there. Also check if it executable

Code:

ls -l configure

and you should get something like

Code:

-xrwxr-xr-

i.e look for the presense of x

if you don't see anything, then

Code:

chmod a+x configure

cheers
