I am running RH 7.3 and I installed a HW based intel modem.Under Device, I only see Nic card. So, I was trying to install "intel-536ep-451-R73.tgz" software for it .
For some reason I am having heard time doing it.
I can mount the cd rom drive and right click on the above file and chose to extract it to /home directory. I than open up Shell as root and change ( cd /home) to home directory. If I type Dir at the prompt, I can see the above file. Bur for some reasone, I can't cd in to this directory.
Is there something I am missing ?
Can anybody help me with step by step on how to do that ?
Thanks in advance.

My suggestion:
in the shell
1. copy the file intel-536ep-451-R73.tgz to /home
2. make home current working directory "cd /home"
3. tar -xvfz intel-536ep-451-R73.tgz
4. cd /home/intel-536ep-451-R73
5. install the binary
