[Preston] Help Needed: Installing Wireless Software

[Chris Tompkins]

The cunning plan is to install a Wireless LAN USB Adapter ("Dongle"?). 
The package states that the driver supports (amongst other things) Linux 
Debian, so I am assuming that I can install it on my Ubuntu systems 
(version 8.04)

The problem is one of knowledge, attempts at things like RTFM are 
currently beyond me.  The task is, as far as I can tell, to add some 
software in a directory called: /etc/Wireless/RT73STA/.

The request is for someone with knowledge of this sort of thing to 
explain what the words in the "Build Instructions" mean.  (All of the 
documentation and software exists on a CD.)

The way my brain works, I'm a slow learner and I think I'm a couple of 
stages before I can go to a typical help forum.

I'd be grateful,

Regards,

Chris
