How do I install a bz2.bz2 file?

I need to install the driver for my wireless card (hp pavilion g6) in order to get wireless working on my computer.

Problem is (as far as I can tell) it's not a tar.bz2 and none of the instructions for that appear to be working. I've extracted it (through Ubuntu Archive) down to a .tar file, but that file doesn't appear to work at all either.

the file name is:

2011_1007_RT5390_RT5392_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO_v2.bz2.bz2

How do I install my drivers using this kind of file?

Right-click the .tar file and select "Extract Here". Open the file os/linux/config.mk with any text editor and change HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n to HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y. Proofread, save and close the text editor.

Install the prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential

Now compile the driver.

cd Desktop/2011_1007_RT5390_RT5392_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO  # or wherever you extracted the folder

sudo su

make

make install

modprobe rt5390sta

exit

Be sure the conflicting driver isn't loaded:

lsmod | grep rt28

If rt2800pci is loaded, it should be blacklisted:

sudo su

echo "blacklist rt2800pci"  >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

exit

If you get an error at make, stop and ask us.
