Help With USB Wireless Card

[RobMunfy]

Hi all,

I am trying to install my new Edimax EW-7717Un wireless USB card on crunchbang, but failing miserably.

The driver comes with a Readme that I am finding incredibly difficult to make sense of. The driver and readme is available here: http://www.edimax.co.uk/images/Image/Driver_Utility/Wireless/NIC/2009/2008_0925_RT2870_Linux_STA_v1.4.0.0.tar.zip

I guess at the moment, I don't understand the:

"define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC modify to meet your need."

and

"3> In os/linux/config.mk
define the GCC and LD of the target machine
define the compiler flags CFLAGS
modify to meet your need.
** Build for being controlled by NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant wext functions
Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y'.
=> #>cd wpa_supplicant-x.x
=> #>./wpa_supplicant -Dwext -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d
** Build for being controlled by WpaSupplicant with Ralink Driver
Please set 'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n'.
=> #>cd wpa_supplicant-0.5.7
=> #>./wpa_supplicant -Dralink -ira0 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -d"

Could anyone help me out with this?

Thanks, Rob
