Compiling and Installing the Driver

To compile and install the driver:

  1. Open a terminal window.
  2. Go to the directory where you have the driver sources extracted to (see above).

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 the build procedure by entering commands

make && sudo make install

  1. Enter your password when you are asked.

Now, all necessary files are built and installed.

Ignorable Error Messages

 

You may encounter error messages during install referring to driver signing starting with "SSL error" or "sign-file". These messages can be safely ignored if the UEFI Secure Boot feature is disabled in your mainboard settings.
