I brilliantly bought a Cisco Linksys AE3000 wireless USB adaptor without checking whether it would work on a Linux system first.

I found a work around here:

I can find the source file and update it in a C compiler - no problems there.

However, I'm not entirely clear how to compile the modified file without it becoming an .exe.

Secondly, I'm still getting used to the Linux file tree, so I'm also not sure where I'd be installing this!

Would anyone be able to give me a "Dick and Jane" run though here?

Thanks!
