There are help guides on slackware a reason. Try to learn more about tar and some of the extensions it provides. There is also instructions on how to build the former version of the driver on the forums here, it wouldn't hurt to search.

You could also use the KDE tool and extract it, but you may learn something if you do it the other way...

BUT here, I'm not a total cynic. Looking at the tar --help command shows a few examples and options to use.

tar -xf "file to uncompress" is getting warmer.

Considering the package ends in gz, it's gzipped, so add the -z options into the mix.

and I like to see the verberos of the files -v

Maybe you'll figure it out.

The link you gave me is great, but the commands don't work

Read the INSTALL file lol If you are struggling to install drivers maybe you should be using windows

[Richard Naggin]

I will take that under advisement

So..next time search...

Maybe I need to switch back to Windows...

I'm working on it now, but it looks like you may need to set KERNELPATH when making the drivers for 0.9.4 madwifi drivers for atheros.

I must have missed this thread

*looks like it doesn't like this kernel.lzm in BT3 - I'm getting failed to create file and directory errors all over the place. Then again, I could have missed something in the HDD installation.

I'm tired. Must sleep.

EDIT: Yep, I missed something. Make sure the partition size for the root is larger than 4GB. I had mine a wee bit less and I ran out of memory when running the kernel.lzm update so then I could update the madwifi. It's all gouda now.
