Introduction

In this document, we introduce two ways to compile and install our Wi-Fi driver:

1) Using install.sh script for PC-Linux and 2) Step by step manually. The former

targets for end users who are not familiar with Linux system, while the later for

engineers who want to port our Wi-Fi driver onto different platforms.

Using install.sh Script for PC-Linux

For driver compilation and installation in PC-Linux, we provide an install.sh

script to do the duties automatically. If you want to use our Wi-Fi solutions to access

network on PC-Linux, you can just run install.sh script and then control Wi-Fi with

utilities such as Network Manager. For further information about Wi-Fi station mode,

please refer to:

document/Quick_Start_Guide_for_Station_Mode.pdf.

If you want to apply our Wi-Fi solutions on other embedded platforms, you

should read and check the following paragraphs.

2. Decompress the driver source tar ball

The driver source tar ball is located in the driver folder of our software package.

For example, to decompress rtl8188C_8192C_8192D_usb_linux_v3.3.0_2920.20111123.tar.gz:

root@driver/# tar zxvf rtl8188C_8192C_8192D_usb_linux_v3.3.0_2920.20111123.tar.gz
