Failed driver install for WLAN/BT pci-e card Ubuntu NBR 9.10

I haven't been able to use my Ubuntu NBR 9.10 install for several months because I upgraded my wifi pci-e card to a wifi/bluetooth card and there was no driver for it. Now I found the driver there:

http://3dsp.com.cn/web_html/download.html

It is the one under #4 for Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit.

When I try to run the driver, I get the following:

Code:

fred@Netbook:~$ cd Desktop
fred@Netbook:~/Desktop$ sudo bash Install_3DSP.sh
[sudo]

Please restart your computer to use 3DSP card.
Startup 3DSP card throuth Applications->Accessories->3DSP WB.

Thanks for using 3DSP card. Have a good day!

Then the bluetooth utility cannot start and the wifi utility does not find the wifi card ('no valid device found')
I am a bit desperate . Does anyone see what I am doing wrong? (I am quite a newbie to Linux)

Of course I have posted my problem on the Ubuntu forums first but nobody bothered to reply :cry: ...

 

"Operation not permitted"
Installing anything requires root privileges.
Use "sudo <./install_command>"

Note:the installer wasn't able to add the drivers because you didn't use sudo.
Thus, there are still no drivers there.

 

Hi

and thank you for your response, it's the 1st one I've got in a month on this issue, all forums (Ubuntu, eeeuser, Acer aspire One) included

but If you look at the second line

Code:

fred@Netbook:~/Desktop$ sudo bash Install_3DSP.sh

you can see that I did use sudo, so surely the problem must be elsewhere?..

 

:?:
I'd try

Code:

sudo "bash ./Install_3DSP.sh"

in case bash is parsing the command line wrong.
Better yet, open Install_3DSP.sh,
insert the line

Code:

#!/bin/bash

at the very top, and run

Code:

sudo./Install_3DSP.sh

in the same folder
I assume that Install_3DSP.sh is on your desktop. If it isn't, run this command:

Code:

cp `which Install_3DSP.sh` ~/Desktop/
