No internet, i have driver. how to install wireless driver?

I have had Arch installed on one of my three HDs for a while. I have just switched over to wireless. I bought the Asus PCE-N13 pci card. It works great on my other distro i have installed on my other HD - ubuntu (which is where I type this from).
I have the driver disk the card came with (yes, it actually supports linux). The driver is rt2860.
When I boot into my Arch HD, I am just lost as to what to do to install the driver to get my wireless working for Arch.
I'll take any tips.
Thanks,
Randy
Also, I have tried to use the Arch Wiki, but that is difficult for me personally to follow.

I can't help you with installing the driver that did come with the card.
However I notice that there is a rt2860 driver on the AUR. You could try to install it and see if it works.
To install from the AUR you need yaourt (or equivalent). If you don't have it, add following lines to the
end of /etc/pacman.conf:
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686
Then execute on the command line: pacman -S yaourt
And after that: yaourt -S rt2860
Just my 2 cents.

  • How to install hard drive into mac pro

    how to install hard drive into mac pro

    I recently bought a new 2TB internal sata drive for my Macpro.
    The installation was easy, but I'm not sure what to do next.
    For one, should I partition the drive?
    My purpose for buying the drive was to use it as my go to drive for Parallels. I used to run my music studio on Windows based machines, and my older project files require a windows OS to recover. I installed Parallels so I can have my studio running Mac and Windows programs which will enable me to access my old project files and take them into my newer Protools system.
    So now, I've installed my new hard drive, but I'm not sure if I should partition it....And!? I'm not sure how to designate that drive for my virtual pc on Parallels. I was able to allocate enough disk space to parallels in order to load my music software, but at this point, I'm not sure if I've just promised it disk space from my original partitioned drive (which only has about 350 GB left on it).
    I would love to be able to make one internal drive available for Parallels, and the other available for the rest of my OSX. When I use Parallels, I still would like to save some extra information on the 2TB drive as well from my dekstop running OSX.
    I hope this makes sense! Your help is much appreciated!

    Not advised it will not work or fit correctly you need to have a adapter to make that fit and as the other poster said your speed will be slower. Also you can get laptop drives each that are 2tb in both bay without needing to take out the OD drive itself. Did you look into that before getting a SSD.

    What you need to do depends on what you're trying to accomplish, but here, for example, is how to connect to the internet through your modem. (These instructions are for Panther; I don't have Tiger).
    Open the Internet Connect application in your Applications folder. Click the Internal Modem button in IC's button bar. Fill in your ISP's dialup access telephone number, your account/username, and your password in the appropriate boxes, and click the Connect button. That's all!

    Unzip to a folder..use Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
    No to connect,
    Install from a list or specific location,
    Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
    For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
    Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
    Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
    Ignore XP when it complains.
    Reboot.

    Hi Sukande,
    Deployment procedure is same irrespective of operating system.
    On AIX, you have to copy the file com.sap.aii.adapter.lib.sda to your desktop and modify using winrar as explained in the below article and copy the modified file back to the respective path on AIX server.

  • MacBook mc240ll/a new hard drive how to install os?

    I just got a MacBook mc240ll/a it has 4GB of ram and I just got a new hard drive for it but, I have no clue how to install the OS. Do I have to purchase OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard because I have none of the cds that came with the computer. Thanks

  • How to install hard drive Macbook Pro 10.6.3

    I have a Macbook Pro Os X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard. I was told that I have a failed hard drive. It costs about $195 for repair at my local shop. I read that I can purchase my own hard drive from BestBuy and have geek squad to install it. The guy says it costs $50 for installation but about $180 to reinstall the system. My question is....is there a good link you could give me for directions to how I can install my own hard drive? Also, when he says install the whole system, what does that mean. I already have my installation disks that came with my Mac. The hard drive that's currently in my Mac is a Western Digital 250GB. Thanks in advance!!!

    Thanks for your reply. I let it run and it eventually said that Mac OS X can't be installed on the computer. And that the installer could not install the necessary support files. This was all done on a brand new hard drive and was the exact error given on my previous hard drive. (The one that  I was told had failed). I tried installing from a clone of the CD on a USB but it stalls at the blue screen and eventually has a rotating cursor. Do you recommend anything further?? I would appreciate your help, greatly.

  • How to install updated driver?

    Hi,
    since i use directX 8  I have to get a newer version (digitally signed version is necessary) for my VGA card driver which is a MSI MS StarForce 816/817/818 (Nvidia GeForce2 MX).
    After I have downloaded the Nvidia driver 31.00 from http://www.msi.com.tw I couldn't find any start or install file for the new driver.
    How does it work to use this downloaded file?

So for me it's still not clear how to install such a driver? ( Do I have to only copy some files in certain directories of Windows   o r   is the download of the driver not completed I mean mustn't there be any install/start/setup/... file ??
    Please advise!

    Right-click on each of the devices that reference Option (com ports and so on). Select Update driver software and browse to the folder with the unzipped .inf files.
    You probably tried this but I thought I'd post anyway for others who are looking for the topic.

  • How to install hd4000 driver and control fn key??

    Hi, there
    I want to ask you what I have to do for resolving this problem
    I have done clean installation windows 7 home > win 7 enterprize_kor
    so I have installled drivers by myself but I couldn't hd4000 drivers and saw a message
    "This system is not satisfied needed minimum requirement for installing driver"
    Of course, I can install hd4000 driver through windows update
    but I am not sure whether fn + volume or light up/down key work on display or not
    I want to install hd4000 driver and work fn + key on display
    Thank you

    vga : hd 4000 + ndivia 5200

    Hi, sungmin
    THe HD4000 driver should already be installed, since Windows update found it for you. As for the Fn key working in the manner you described, the driver you likely need is the Hotkey Features Integration. You can also find any drivers for your system on this page here.
    Hope it helps,
