I'm fairly new to linux. I have an old P2 IBM Laptop, A Blitzz wireless networking card, and software, from Blitzz that is supposed to install a driver for the card. Upon unzipping the package, the directory has an install executable in a folder surrounded by a readme and several packages for the utilities. When i try to install the driver via the manufacturer's directions, the terminal gives me an error that the package is uninstallable. When I try to double click on the 'Setup' icon in the directory, nothing happens.
manufacturer website: http://www.iblitzz.com/
model number/make/model:BWP612
802.11b 11Mbps Wireless LAN Cardbus PC Card

the software that i d/l'ed was for red hat 7.3 and i've tried d/l'ing/installing the package using the above methods twice. Any support on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

tip: don't doubleclick on the setup icon. open a terminal and run ./foo or sh foo to install or compile/configure the drivers (foo being the setup exe).

The setup script is probably a shell script or something like it and won't execute directly from you standard file browser.
