Honda_Boy Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Would anyone happen to know where the drivers folder, particularly the wireless network card drivers, would be. I have new card with a Ralink chipset and I have drivers but I don't know where to put them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iccaros Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Would anyone happen to know where the drivers folder, particularly the wireless network card drivers, would be. I have new card with a Ralink chipset and I have drivers but I don't know where to put them.the drive will need to be compiled.. drivers are loaded with the modprobe command..Linux "drivers" will end in .kothere is a read me with the "driver" that should explain this. my driver files are located in /lib/modules/2.6.8.1/kernel this is a little old but may helphttp://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Module-HOWTO/index.htmlhere is a site on hte drive and its status..It looks like it is been added to the kernel, this would be good.http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourri...11b.html#Ralink Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted December 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Doesn't really matter anymore cause I decided to trash that linux install and I have another on another hard- drive that as soon as I can restore the dual boot or give up and re-install i'll take a crack at it. Now do finished drivers end in .ko casue if they do I already have some ready for Fedora Core that Ralink has provided on their website. Right now though I am making use of the new WiFi card but the only OS I could get it to work in was XP and the only copy I have is installe don my main system so I'll have to find a copy for this system or reinstall every month.
