Huh?
I was giving you information how to extract and install the driver with root privileges to get running, ..... not how to make a dual boot.

Copy the tarballs into your home and half of this BS is avoided making the only privileged code to execute the `make install` as it writes to the system directories. something like this
cd ~
mkdir BUILDS; cd BUILDS
cp /mnt/medie/wireless-compat.tar.gz .
tar -xvzf wireless-compat.tar.gz
cd wireless-compat
./configure --with-desired-options
make
su
make install
That really should work for you without all this rando chown'ing of files just to get around directory perms....

Hey BES
I'm happy to help you a bit. I used to port drivers from Linux to OpenBSD systems and I also used to write a driver here and there as well. You are def correct that there are chipsets that do not have working drivers. Sometimes the changes to existing drivers are as minimal as adding a #define and test for the chipset name (assuming it is a clone) and sometimes as dificult as getting a white paper for the chipset or *gack* reverse engineering one (NEVER FUN!).
Drivers in Linux are a special beast in that they are acutally parts of (or additions to) the kernel. All interface between the metal and the system must take place at a relatively low level in order for latency and inner-kernel communication to occur. When a person builds a custom kernel they specify various drivers and components to be built staticly into the kernel itself or built and loaded on demand as modules (man lsmod, insmod, rmmod). During the build process no elevated privilege is required. It is the writing/copying of the binary object files into the kernels module directories that require privilege.
As a sysadmin for over 12 years (uggggg :-\ ) I can tell you that figuring out how to do as much as possible as a regular user and only using su and sudo when needed can save you a lot of re-installing and headaches while you conquer the learning curve.
Anyway man email me and we can maybe talk a bit on IM and work through whatever problem you are having and it will probably be much easier than doing this on the taco.
Good luck! UNIX/*NIX really is worth it.
Peace,
Roman

well, to start with, your LAN.. 192.168.x.x is not going to propogate to the DNS servers. You have to registar a domain name (Godaddy.com, TZO.com, whatever) with the ip address coming into you access point... e.g. cable, dsl... whatever. as far as the DNS's are concerned, you don't exist. nslookup uses domain name servers to resolve ip addresses into domain names, so if it doesn't know anything about your (SERVER????) then don't expect domain name resolution on windows or linux on any other OS.
IT ain't gonna happen.

Maybe your Wi-Fi card is bad.
Have you made it work on another system?

Step 1:Use default trash can for all windows hardware.
Step 2: Go to Mac store.
simple.
a new iMac with two terrabytes of storage,
no clutter,
a 3 minute set up time from box to operational (I know you poor windows people don't believe me)
with movie editing, and i life
no issues with dreaded software invasion from the web
and no anti virus expense
for about 1500 bucks... are you kidding?
oh and by the way, they don't frreeeeeze crash or otherwise screw up 10% as often as a PC.
Throw the windows away, throw the whole computer away. it's slow
and it is from 1974.

Isn't "windows programmers" an oxymoron....
That system should have never been allowed to develop ( Kill the evil seed, demon child).....Go Apple...Go Unix.... go Red Hat....Shite go fortran or even Cobalt but Phuck the marketing Genius that stuffed his Kock down everyone's throat for 25 years....He can't donate his way out of hell and I can't wait to meet him there. But I'm Knott bitter.
The pieces of shite that retired early and made huge amounts of $ off an extremely, faulty operating system, that was forced upon us because of marketing ....Makes the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorra look tame.
