It's fairly simple: - Download and unpack the latest compat drivers package. Jan 26, 2015 - This project compat-wireless has been renamed compat-drivers, and latter to backports, and new documentation information will be based on. Download Compat Wireless 3.6.8 1 Snpc Tar Bz 10Hi, As you may recall, I bought a Compaq CQ58 with Windows 8 on it, and converted it to Ubuntu 12.10 using a USB stick. I have tried to follow the instructions given here in rather scattered form: I installed linux-headers-generic build-essential, as they say to do, then I downloaded what is apparently the most recent driver: and the terminal said it had saved it with exactly that title. But I can't extract it with a cd command, no matter how I phrase it, because I get 'no such file or directory'. > Hi, > As you may recall, I bought a Compaq CQ58 with Windows 8 on it, and > converted it to Ubuntu 12.10 using a USB stick.

For a 'tar.bz2' extension you need to pass the following command: '$ tar -jxvf compat-wireless-3.6.8-1-snpc.tar.bz2' whilst you're in the directory that contains the above file.

I don't know how to navigate back there, it will be simpler to download the driver again. It may be that this particular model of CQ58 uses a Racal driver; there's a french Ubuntu forum where the user says that his model does. HP don't give detailed specs anywhere on their website. But unused drivers lying around don't do any harm (and hopefully neither do irrelevant Linux headers). Isn't it odd that most of the code given in that Ubuntu forums solution is wrong, yet the questioner says it worked for him? Or would it have been not wrong in earlier Ubuntu versions?
