Did you

(a) gunzip the gz file

(b) untar the tar file

(c) cd rf-2.4.0 and read the "README.txt" file?

no readme

theres no readme. i did "gunzip -cd rf-2.4.0.tar.gz|tar xf -" i'm assuming that that command untars it too but im not sure. i know it unzips it.

i was wrong

i was wrong. it didnt give me an error message so i assumed it went through but when i did it, it gave me
"/usr/sbin/install -f /kernel/drv -m 755 -u root -g sys i386/rf
new owner is root
i386/rf installed as /kernel/drv/rf"

when i did the "prtconf -D" to check to see if my driver was there it wasnt. and the config documentation said the driver name needs to be in the dev dir and i couldnt find it there. so i tried copying rf in kernel/drv (which is where it was) into /dev, where it should be right(i think)?

1. what does rebooting do?

2. wouldn't you do "ifconfig rtk0 plumb" or "ifconfig rf0 plumb" similar?
