I am a complete Ubuntu noob, so please be gentle! I'm sure there is something simple I am overlooking because I'm trying to go something "the Windows way," but I can't figure it out.
I have a brand new install of Ubuntu 9.10. Where I live the ONLY internet access is wireless. (I am using a different computer to type this.) I have an Encore Electronics wireless card, ENLWI-G2. I found my way here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
... which led me to here:
http://linux-wless.passys.nl/
.. which led to me to here:
http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=Encore
... which says that my card will work with Linux. (Yea!)
I downloaded the driver from here:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&ProdID=36&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true
And now I'm not sure what to do. I saved the file to my Ubuntu machine and extracted the files to my desktop. Then I read the ReadMe, which says to run some commands like "make" and "make install", etc. When I do that, however, I get errors. For example, when running "make" it says,
error: 'struct_net_device' has no member named 'hard_start_xmit' among other things.
What do I do?
