How to install drivers from a CD

[andreami]

Hi everyone!

I recently bought the WL300G, an USB Wireless-N Adapter. I want to use it to connect my old NEC Versa Note VX to the internet, but I need to install drivers from the CD... How to do it?

Thank you in advance

Does the NIC work when you boot from the CD?
If so:
Boot from your USB/HD drive.
Mount youe CD.
Copy the files from cde/optional on the CD to your tce/optional.
copy the onboot.lst from the cde directory on the CD to your tce directory.
You can reboot and fine tune your onboot.lst to only include the extensions you need/want.

I mounted the CD but when I copied the files into my /home directory the terminal closed suddenly and the whole system was so slow that you couldn't do anything, so i rebooted it. Then the pc was fine but the files of the CD were not copied..

The content of the mounted CD is:

You don't install drivers from foreign CDs.
You need to use the drivers on the CorePlus CD or from the Core repos.

As I said.\, if the NIC works when you boot from the CD (  that means the CorePlus CD )
Copy the files from the cde directory on the CD to the tce directory on your hard drive.

What do you mean by NIC? The network card of the PC or the USB wireless adapter? How to control if it works when i boot from the CorePlus CD?
