Hi guys, really need your help - i'm a total noob and really, REALLY want to switch over to Linux. Downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 and installed (dual-boot) but my Airpace Wireless Adapter would just not work with Linux, so bought Edimax EW-711UAn adapter today and have downloaded the Linux Source Code files from their web site which came in a ZIP file.

I have unpackaged them onto a USB data stick the files are named:

rt287sta.o
rt287sta.ko

I have not got a clue what to do next!!!

Any help or advice would really be appreciated!
