[nfbcs] drivers are driving me crazy

[Doug Lee]

My first guess is that the file itself is corrupted and, sorry to be
the bearer of bad news, might need a fresh download.

Hi all.
I have been having trouble with the wireless adaptor in an old laptop, and 
decided to download the latest version of the drivers and install them.
I've done this before for other devices so know the process, but it gets 
more frustrating when the wireless goes down just a few minutes after 
booting the system, so I don't have time to grab the new drivers from the 
net.

Well after some frustration with this, I finally got the file WLAN.zip 
containikng all the drivers.
Unfortunately now when I try to unzip it, I get an error reading the file in 
the middle of unzipping.  I end up with a partial directory tree and I don't 
know if I have all the files for the driver or not.

The error message didn't say what file it was reading and it looks like I 
have only one main branch of the tree.  I don't know if the missing part is 
just documentation or if there is data or code there.

I've never encountered this before.  Does anyone have an idea what the 
problem could be or a suggestion how to proceed?  Please, no advice such as 
"throw out your laptop"; I've already considered that and may do it 
eventually.

Happy hacking.
TIA
