Another laptop! I have installed Mandriva Spring 2008.1 on my Sony Vaio laptop and it is working really well.<br><br>Now to try to get the network up and running. When I tried to configure the network I got a message saying the file /lib/firmware/ipw2200-*.fw was missing and giving a web page where I could find it. I have downloaded this file (presumably it is the driver for my wireless card) and have attempted to extract it to /lib/firmware. However I do not have permissions to write to this folder.<br>
<br>Is the correct thing to do (extracting the downloaded file to the location cited in the configuration error message)? And if so why can't I write it to that location (it is my computer!!)?<br><br>While I'm asking questions - Am I right in thinking the best place to extract applications to is /bin? I have tried this, but again don't have write permissions. Please clear up this confusion for me - thanks...<br>
