I am running FreeBSD 6.2 and have downloaded "mykbsd60x86-8.12.1.3.tar" file. How/Where do I install it?
The install instructions on the DriverGuide site seem to be for Windows only.

cd Download_Dir/
tar xvfz file.tar.gz
cd file_dir/
./configure
make
su -c "make install" (enter root password here)


have the tar file in an open directory window (ie; konqueror), open terminal, type su -, enter password for root user when it prompts you to do so, type "cd /directory/that/tar/file/is/in", now, right click the tar file. you'll see a drop menu...highlight "actions", click on "extract here" wait. next, you'll see a new folder appear with similar name to tar file. neat, huh? I thought so! click on that. now, look for a "readme" or "install" file or any and all text files that came along with this tar file. read them all. most of it will have you thinking that you're expected to never get to wind up kissing a girl and always be made fun of, but somewhere, you'll get some useful information. some of these packages have special instructions we wouldn't want to miss out on. if it's all useless gibberish, click back on the prompt in your open terminal and type "cd"(hit "enter") then left mouse button hold+drag+highlight the /directory/folder/name at the top of your konqueror window; everything just past the "file:" part and make sure no files within your presently open folder are appended to the end of this string. now, right click the blue highlighted text, select "copy", it copied the string into your clipboard and probably won't forget too soon. now left click again at the prompt in your open terminal, type "cd (space)and then, right click the prompt, click "paste", enter. now, in that directory konqueror window, just look for a file simply named "configure". if you see one; type the word "configure" in your terminal. wait. when it's done, it will give you back your "#" or "$" or "%" shell prompt sign. at this point, either there was a configure file or there wasn't one. either way, you're now gonna look for a "Makefile" just type "make" this may take time. when done, if no errors from missing dependancies or libraries or stars weren't aligned just so...and ALL worked out, and no complaints came up, and you got your shell prompt back again, type "make install". you're DONE when it's done!
RPM files are RPM files you right click them and select "preview in KRPMview". sometimes, in suse 9.1, there is no config or make needed. sometimes, you'll see a black terminal shell screen icon thingie. it will sometimes have a .sh at the end of it's name. then, to use the shell, you type the name of the script as you see it with a little addition prior; #"sh" or "./"pew/my/butt/sure/stinks.sh easy enough, innit? I probably showed you the stupidest way to do all this stuff and confused the hell out of you but, hey, who else was gonna write a book for ya?

Thanks for the info. Jerry K. - but still not working.

What i get when i tar -xvf the mykbsd60x86-8.12.1.3.tar is the following list of files:

+COMMENT
+CONTENTS
+DESC
if_myk.ko
myk.4.gz

I cannot read any of the +COMMENT/+CONTENTS/+DESC files even though i suspect they are ascii files.

I have unzipped the myk.4.gz file, (now myk.4) which is again an ascii file - unforunately i don't understand what this file is for as the contents of this file are beyond my simple mind.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated, as it is a real pain not to be able to use the internet on my new shiny Sony!
