Installing RT2500 Network Card

807557May 27 2007 — edited May 30 2007

I need to install a driver for my RT2500 PCI wireless network card on my Solaris 10.

So I went to the ralink website (the manufacturer of the network card), and downloaded the linux (well supposedly the unix driver) binary file. Burned it to dvd, and copied from the dvd to my solaris computer.

So on the solaris computer, the *.tar.gz file (the binary driver file that I downloaded) is currently in root directory ('cause it's convenient to keep it there for now).

Now how do I install it and configure it? I have tried googling... I haven't found much information that I can understand and confidently execute. I'm sorry, but I'm new to using Unix system. All the tar.gz file is new and I don't know what to do with them.

And even if I have installed it, I am yet to configure it I believe, so I would need help on that. Could someone help me?

Thank you in advance.
