ok i have a smcwpcit-g wireless card (aerthos)  and need to know how to install the linux driver for it.. By the way i havent put in the card first so if i have to please tell me

its on Ubuntu 7.10 

I think you unzip the file into a folder on your desktop then use the package manager to open/install it. You then need to tell it to look for the file where you left it.

I could be wrong though

Mr freezy's post would work for windows only cards with ndiswrapper. 

But atheros has good support in linux

assuming your OS doesn't come with drivers for it you can get them here: 

http://madwifi.org/

check if you already have the module loaded by typing this in root:

modprobe ath_pci

lsmod | grep ath

 If it doesn't work, then you need to get madwifi.
