That is EXACTLY what I need! However, you can not imagine just how dumb some of us are that read this - take me as an example...
Could you describe in more detail how to do this, please?
Here's what I did - and w/o success...
Used a CD with Knoppix 3.2 with kernel 2.4.20 - xfs...no idea what the suffix means but looks like this could be OK.
1. Driver downloaded & unzipped on Desktop
2. I believe there's a typo and you meant 'installpath...' - do I have to key that into the root shell already? That's what I did....no response...guess that's OK
3. If I type 'make' into the root shell, I get an error - I use the German version and it says something like 'no target specified...file not found'
4. If I type 'make install' into the root shell, I get another error...something about 'no rules'
5. Do I have to type that into root shell as well?
6. What is meant by 'e.g.'? I know what for instance means...but do I use what you have specified or do I use something else...how do I know what to use?
7. 'wlanup' looks like a command but what's the './' in front of it? Type that into root shell as well? And what's the program where I can look up other parameters?
I would really appreciate if you could just spent another few minutes and write down a somewhat more detailed description - guys like me won't get it otherwise...Thanks a lot!

you have to be in that folder to be able to run these comands, open the terminal and use cd to go there (cd /home/knoppix/Desktop/inst).
with that done you can run the first two comands as yourself (installpath=/home/knoppix/Desktop/inst, make)
only the 5-7 need root as far as i know
as far as I know you need not be root to run make. but might be something very special in this case (no idea what though), try without being root and see.

I'm afraid it still doesn't work...strange thing with the installpath - the directory actually doesn't exist: There's no 'inst' on my desktop hence, I cannot change to it.
And still, I cannot use just 'make' - get the same error...
Any idea?
