Not tested. No guarantees. No support. This Linux wireless driver package supports ADMtek ADM8211A/B/C chipsets, in PCI and cardbus devices. It was further developed from ADMtek's original Linux driver by "FlamingICE" (Michael Wu).

Save the driver tarball to your /root directory, which is persistent if you use a pupfile. Add the uncompress and depmod commands to /root/.etc/rc.d/rc.local cd / tar -zxvf /root/adm8211.tar.gz depmod This will install the driver every time you boot up, ready to load and configure as explained above. A script for this purpose, "adm8211-connect" is available. Just modify the script to include your wireless settings.
