I just installed linux mandriva and now it wont read my wireless card, which is intel 2200 b/g. I went to the intel site and found the package to install it for linux. Now I have a whole bunch of files and I dont know how to install any of them. How do I install a wireless card on linux mandriva?!

OK the one I found for your wireless card seemed to have a shell script.
Directions:
extract all of the files to your desktop.
Run in the terminal
cd Desktop
(press enter)
sudo sh INSTALL
(press enter)
Hi, u r going to have to compile the drivers from source cause from ur description I think u downloaded the source. Compile them and then install them. The packages u need for compiling and installing in Mandriva can be found out from visiting Mandriva Forums or something. I hope I helped.
Good Luck!
