Extracting the Driver Sources

To extract the driver source files:

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Go to the directory where you want to extract the sources to.

No Blanks in Path to Directory

 

Make sure the path to the directory you want to use for compilation of the source files contains no blanks. (The kernel build scripts accept no blanks in a path.) Otherwise, compilation of the source files will fail.

   
  1. Start extracting the driver sources by entering the command

    tar xjvf menable_linuxdrv_src_4.2.5.tar.bz2
