Hi my box recognizes my US Robotics card(2 beeps).US Robotics has Linux Driver for this card.

My problem is how to install the driver.

*how do I read them
*how to unzip them
*etc etc.....

-helpful thoughts and pointers only

This is my first at Linux and I want to learn.

Cometh~

what is the file extension? generally linux third party driver comes in 3 binary forms.

1. ".bin" or ".sh"
If this is the case just do "./thefile.sh" .

2. ".rpm"
This will only works for linux that support rpm such as Mandrake, Redhat and etc.

3. ".exe"
If you got this one....it is not for linux. Go get another one.

If the file is in ".tgz" or "tar.gz" or "tar.bz2" , you probably need to compile it. To "unzip" it

1. "tgz" or "tar.gz"
tar -zxvf thefile

2. "tar.bz2"
tar -jxvf thefile

after that you have to read the README to go on....
