CHAPTER3:INSTALLATION
AIR802 recognizes that more and more users are installing the Linux operating system.
Therefore we are pleased to support those users with our USB-ADG-2 802.11b/g adapter.
3.1 PREPARATIONREQUIREMENTS
1. Kernel 2.4.20+ (The driver has been successfully and easily built in Redhat9, Fedora
Core2.3 and Debian 3.1)
2. You will need a configured kernel source code for the kernel that you are running – ideally
this will mean that you have at least run ‘make config’, ‘make menuconfig’, or ‘make
xconfig’.
Note: If your platform is not a SMP system, do not set SMP as supported. If you do, when
the module is loaded, it will create an unresolved symbol.
3. Make sure that your kernel usb 2.0 support is running.
Note 1: Use lsmod to check if “ehci-hcd module is loaded.
Note 2: If host does not support usb 2.0, the USB-ADG-2 will run under pure-b mode.
3.2 PACKAGEEXTRACTION
tar zxvf AIR802LnxDrv_xxxx.tar.gz
# where xxxx is the version number, such as 2_0_0_0
The first thing one should do is to uncompress this package by tar. After untaring this package,
you can see the source files. One should change directory into this directory before proceeding
to the next step.
