Thanks for the advice.  I'm starting to get a clue about RPMs.  There are other things going on...see below:

It is a g card.

Here's what happens: 
$ urpmi driverloader-1.76_k2.6.3_mdk.i586.rpm
bash: urpmi: command not found

> 	rpm -i <rpmname>.rpm
OK, lets try the more general command:
$ rpm -i driverloader-1.76_k2.6.3_7mdk-1mdk.i586.rpm
warning: driverloader-1.76_k2.6.3_7mdk-1mdk.i586.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5dfbf7dc
error: Failed dependencies:
        wireless-tools is needed by driverloader-1.76_k2.6.3_7mdk-1mdk

It looks like I need to go find a "wireless-tools" download.  I'll keep on picking at it but I'm also open to direction.

Thanks,
Mike McCarty
