Installing Ndiswrapper
 
I just installed Suse 9.3 and have the contents of the Ndiswrapper .tar extracted to my desktop in a folder called wifi. What do I do next to install Ndiswrapper?

Thanks for the help in advance.

If you extracted the archive, read the file inside called INSTALL to see the next steps to follow.

An even easier source of information might be this:

Thanks for the help.

When doing tar zxvf ndiswrapper-1.1.tar.gz I get this:

Code:
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I found the solution.

If you download a file using Firefox or any browser based on netscape, sometimes it uncompresses it for you.
Just get rid of the z in tar zxvf and you're good to go. So instead of tryping in tar zxvf, you would type tar xvf.

If it's something.tar.gz, use "zxvf".
If it's something.tar.bz2, use "jxvf".
If it's something.tar, use "xvf".
