You downloaded the driver from wheezy-backports? It's a deb file (a debian package). Normally, you would simply transfer the deb from the usb key to your wheezy box and install it via the following command (as root) :'dpkg -i firmware-realtek_0.43~bpo70+1_all.deb' and you'd be done. Or have I missed something along the way (after inadquate contemplation)? -- "Until the Lion learns to write, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the Hunter." — African proverb
