Re: Compiling network card driver source

Hello Mr. Mohammed:

this is called a source code installation method and
it's easy.

do this steps:
1- cd to the directory
2- if you have a file called configure then type:
./configure and press enter.
3- on success type: make
4- on success type: make install

that's all

have fun
