Help Installing Usb Wifi Driver

[NeedsHelpLinux]

Hello there, Im very new with Linux. I hear its the only way to go so im trying it out.

I recently installed Ubuntu on 1 half of my HD and i have xp on the other partion.




I have a Cd with linux drivers for my Airlink USB wifi stick.

This Cd Has drivers for Linux, Windows and Mac.

So I need help. From begining to end.

Thank you very much for your time.

Please let me know if you need more info.

How about inserting the CD and providing us a list of the "Linux driver" directories and files?

There probably is a directory with a bunch of "make" files in it, some source code, and some scripts you run to build the actual driver. The list of directories and files is needed if you want detailed help.

Here is the make File
