Unzip it and run. note the info for the wireless card, and then match it up against the following: Device : 10b7:9200 "3Com 3C90xC PCI" Device : 10b7:1700 "3Com/SKNet Gigabit" Device : 11ab:4320 "3Com/SKNet Gigabit" Device : 11ab:4362 "3Com/SKNet Gigabit" Device : 1148:4320 "3Com/SKNet Gigabit" Device : 1814:0101 "ASUS Wlan RT2400" Device : 8086:4220 "Intel 2200 Wlan" Device : 8086:4223 "Intel 2915 a/b/g" Device : 8086:4224 "Intel 2915 a/b/g" Device : 8086:1043 "Intel 2100 Wlan" Device : 8086:1229 "Intel 10/100" Device : 8086:1076 "Intel 10/100/1000" Device : 8086:101e "Intel 10/100/1000" Device : 168c:0012 "Atheros Wlan" Device : 168c:0013 "Atheros Wlan" Device : 168c:1014 "Atheros Wlan" Device : 14e4:4320 "Broadcom B/G" Device : 14e4:4324 "Broadcom A/B/G" Device : 14e4:4318 "Broadcom B/G" Device : 14e4:165d "Broadcom Gigabit" Device : 14e4:167d "Broadcom Gigabit" Device : 14e4:4401 "Broadcom 10/100" Device : 14e4:170c "Broadcom 10/100" Device : 104c:9066 "Dlink DWL-G520+" Device : 10de:0066 "nForce 2 10/100" Device : 10de:00d6 "nForce 3 10/100" Device : 10de:0057 "nForce 4 10/100/1000" Device : 10ec:8168 "Rtl 8168 GigaBit" Device : 10ec:8169 "Rtl 8169 GigaBit" Device : 10ec:8180 "Rtl 8180 Wlan" Device : 14b9:a504 "CISCO mPCI" The above is the the supported hardware list from GenMAC 1.7 (see DevList, dated 2006-03-19 in the distro). If your card has one of the above PCI ID strings, then you should be good to go. Remember that the official GenMAC support list is http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.genmac.user.
