wifi y usb

hola, por Dios que alguien me diga si esto me ayuda o no.
El caso es que este es el readme del driver del adaptador usb-wireless marca Cnet.
PERO es para REDHAT no sirve (al menos eso creo o no lo he hecho bien) para DEBIAN?
o si sirviera como lo hago aqui os pongo las instracciones a ver si alguien me aclara algo. Gracias.

# make menuconfig

2. # make dep

- USB controller:
Use uhci.o rather than the default usb-uhci.o.

1. Edit /etc/modules.conf and replace
"alias usb-controller usb-uhci" with
"alias usb-controller uhci"

2. Reboot the system.
# reboot


C. Installation Procedure:
- Unpack the CNWLC-611-CNET-AR-USB-LRP-V1.00.tgz package
(anywhere you like).
# tar xzvf CNWLC-611-CNET-AR-USB-LRP-V1.00.tgz

E. Setup protocol up for device:
- To see the log messages about your device. It will
list the alias of the device, e.g.: vnetusba.c: usb
"eth0" initialized and registered. This shows the

#dmesg

Otherwise, you can observe log file /var/log/message
to make sure what the alias is.

If you have dhcp installed, run:
# dhcpcd

e.g. dhcpcd eth0

If you don't, just run:
# ifconfig up
And set default gateway manually if you got available gateway.
# route add default gw

e.g. ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.254

F. Wireless Utility:
- If you finish the steps as mentioned, you can run below
command and configure parameters of wireless.
