Re: How do I install this module?
The files you show in the archive is the source code for the kernel module (driver) itself. We will compile it before installing.
Firstly, I am assuming the "hanvon-20111102.tgz" file is in your "Downloads" folder.
Open a terminal (Click on the Unity dash on the top-left hand corner of the screen and type in 'terminal').
Then, enter this in.
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
#Create a clean folder to extract and compile the driver
mkdir -p hanvon_drivers/build
mv hanvon-20111102.tgz hanvon_drivers
cd hanvon_drivers
tar xvf hanvon-20111102.tgz
mv hanvon/* build
#Install gcc and other tools needed to build kernel module from source
sudo apt-get install build-essential
#type in password at this point, it will not show up
cd build
#Compile Module
make
#Insert module in kernel
sudo insmod ./hanvon.ko
It should (according to the readme at least) show up if you run
btw, don't worry about it if you ever post in the wrong section. Just click on the "report abuse" button on the left hand side of the screen (for me, I see yours at the bottom left of your post), and ask for someone to move it

Reason: didn't notice subdirectory...
Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
