    I don't have any wireless setups so don't know much about it, but you could try looking here to see if there is any help:

    What you want is the *.inf and *.sys file and not the *.exe. You can extract .inf and .sys from the .exe using winrar or anything similar

    You probably don't get an IP from your router. Post the output of "ifconfig", run as root.
