Well where can I start. I have a dual boot between Redhat 7.2 and Windows XP Pro. I have about a month using linux now, but Im still a big newbie. Anyways, I have a wireless network and the main computer has the SMC Barricade; other two computers, including mine, have wireless cards. My dad made me do the wireless netowrk cuz he hates cables for some reason. I like the regular ones better. They are cheaper, easier to install, and in some cases, faster.
Soooo I was able to connect with WindowsXP because I downloaded from the other computer and installed the drivers through the disk. To connect my Redhat 7.2 I downloaded the drivers into D: (while in win) and then mounted them in linux. It took me a while to figure out what the heck to do with those tar.gz files. So I unzipped my drivers... where's my "setup.exe" nooooooo
.
Hehe, I read the "readme" me file but i get an error of some kind when i try to install the thing. Im I gonna have to open the shell thingie every time I install something? So anyways, I cant install the drivers for my wireless card (SMC2602W). The linux drivers for my card also look a little bit old but they should still work.
Oh, by the way, is there anything similar to WinZIP for linux, like LinGz i don't know, I'm tired of using <tar> and <gunzip> and typing these long names on the console.
Im thinking of staying with WinXP and getting rid of Linux. WinXP is very very stable and I havnt seen my fisrt Blue Screen. Besides it is easier you install things with a SETUP.EXE !!!
forget what I said I still wanna use linux, but please help me. Thanks.
