I'm having some hard time installing the driver... It's probably stupid, but I'm an absolute beginner, so please don't laugh :-) Here's what I did - step by step: 1) downloaded the file "agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2" 2) copied it to "Home folder" 3) started the terminal 4) gave the command "tar jxf agrsm-alpha.tar.bz2" 5) "cd agrsm" and then "ls", all the files are there! 6) "sudo make module", and it's asking me for the password, which I successfully entered 7) HERE'S THE PROBLEM: the following line showed up: "sudo: make: command not found". I also tried "sudo make install", and got the same message. P.S. I also tried to enter the command "sudo make module | tee mywork.txt" as you advised, but I got the following message: "sudo: make: command not found tee: mywork.txt: Permission denied" The same message shows up for "sudo make install | tee -a mywork.txt". I know I'm doing something wrong, just don't know what...
