Basically I'm having problems installing drivers for a D-Link Range Booster N USB Adaptor. I cannot run the Setup.exe file which came with the CD and the most recent driver is for Windows 7x64. Is there a work around, a command I can enter to cause Linux to execute Setup.exe? Will the Win7 drivers work with Linux? Should I toss the lot and purchase a new wireless adaptor? Recommendations appreciated.

As Always, Thanks in advance for your help.
 


Update:

D-link wireless adaptor is now working. I had to move the computer close enough to the router to connect with a cat 5 cable. Once online, I updated the drivers using the driver manager, shut down the system, switched to the D-Link and rebooted. Everything is working nicely now.

I should mention, I am new to Linux and this is my first install. I hope this is information is useful to someone.
 
Good stuff, Pepper !!.......way to go !!!!!!
 
We like to think of the Linux Community being a sharing community - share the wealth (of knowledge), share the joy.

You have put some good steps in that direction.
