Can anybody give me baby steps to install my network card via shell prompt? I have minimal linux knowledge so please be descriptive. I need to know how to untar from the cd and where to put them I guess. Any questions, just let me know thanks

Ok I've managed to get part of the way there.. Here are the installation instructions:

Building Driver From TAR File
=============================

1. Create a directory and extract the files:

tar xvzf bcm4400-<version>.tar.gz

2. Build the driver bcm4400.o as a loadable module for the running kernel:

cd src
make

3. Test the driver by loading it:

insmod bcm4400.o

4. Install the driver and man page:

make install

=============================


I get to the point where I am supposed to 'make' and I get this error:

bash: make: command not found

Any ideas?

hello,
you need to have gcc and make installed - what distro is this?

[golfcart]

Distro is Peanut

How do I install gcc and make?

[golfcart]

Got myself a copy of make and am now trying to install it but the install --h help file scrolls by too fast to read anything. How do I stop that?

make --help | less - you should not need to do anytying, juts type make in the directory where you extracetd teh driver
