Hi everyone, I´m brand new to Linux, I bought few books and I´m
starting.
I installed Sabayon 3.4f x86_64 on a laptop Acer Aspire 5050-4872.
It is very nice, but I have several problems, and I am trying to fix
the first one...
It does not recognize my Wireless card.
I tryied to install Madwifi, so I opened a root console, and typed:
# emerge madwifi-ng
It tryied to connect to the internet to download a driver madwifi-ng-
0.9.4.tar.bz2, of course, there is not internet in that computer, so
I manually downloaded it in another computer running Windows XP, but,
the .tar file it downloads is madwifi-ng-0.9.4.tar.tar
I copyied that file to /usr/portage/distfiles and tryied again the
same sentence: emerge madwifi-ng
And it does not recognize the .tar.tar file and try to download
the .tar.bz2 file.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, and could explain it to me
step by step ( I just have three days trying Linux, and I am not
academically inmerse in computers, just few books and magazines, and
I don´t speak english very well, so ) I need help.
Thank you.
