Simple question about installing an Edimax driver

[GoldenAxe]

Hi, experts of the Ubuntu netherworld,

I'm trying to install an Edimax wireless card. I've got a question relating to Step 5.3 in the official instructions from Edimax, which I can't figure out. Where is the "Os/linux" directory in Ubuntu?


Here are the instructions:

Step 1: Find out your kernel version (The kernel v2.6 is used in this example)

$ uname -r



Step 2: Make computer up to internet first, and download gcc packet,

$ apt-get install build-essential



Step 3: Untar driver

$ tar –zxvf 2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0.tar

$ cd 2008_0918_RT2860_Linux_STA_v1.8.0.0.tar


Step 4: Compile driver source code

$ sudo make



Step 5: load driver


5.1

Create a directory

$ sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless/

$ sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless/RT2860SAT/


5.2

Copy configuration files

$ sudo cp RT2860STA.dat

/etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat


5.3 load driver, go to “os/linux/” directory.

$sudo insmod rt2860sta.ko

$sudo ifconfig ra0 up

You shouldn't need to cd to the directory. Just:

sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe -v rt2860sta
