That I have running in LL 2.6 on the M/C shop computer. I am running the 4.2 kernel though and no driver or firmware install was needed. It works out of the box for me.

You may have to extract the tar.gz file.
Then open a terminal in the folder created by the extraction.
In the terminal, type in
Code:
make
sudo make installSimilar instructions for a driver are taken from this link: http://wiki.lm-technologies.com/display/KB/LM808:+Linux+driver+installation+and+compilation
Re: driver load - eltechoyqr - 09-14-2015
tried
1. extracted
tried make and make install as follows
wayne@wayne-celeron:~/Downloads/D_LINK/dwa140_revB_linux_drivers_2130$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
wayne@wayne-celeron:~/Downloads/D_LINK/dwa140_revB_linux_drivers_2130$ make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
do I need to set a directory eg ./

As promised. Here is mine.
Code:

I'll let others handle that since mine just works without jumping through hoops like you are doing.

You're in the same folder as the one where the tar.gz file exists. You'd need to be in the folder created after extracting the tar.gz file.
Actually, it looks like if you extracted the *.tar.gz file, it would create a *.tar file. And then you'd have to extract that *.tar file as well. That would probably create the folder I'm talking about. Within that folder you'd open a terminal and run the make and sudo make install commands.
Nevertheless, rokytnji mentioned theirs worked right out of the box. You might want to connect with rokytnji.

Consider this link. It is a few years old, but its suggestions might still be relevant:

okay it has been a long time since I used make
I am geeting closer with the help form this forum
I have attached two files the first is the output of make >> makerror
The second is called make_inst_err which is the output of make install
make error 1 and 2 I am unsure of even looking in the GNU make manual
I have in etc 1. the directory wireless which is empty
2. the directory Wireless which has RT3070STA
should I have both of these directories?

Please review the more recent posts by me and rokytnji. I think your answer lies somewhere in them.
