Forgot all about it. I did this on the morning:

tar -zxvf wl1251-maemo-0.1.tar.gz
6. Re-select the applet and point to the location of the driver:

MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless.

I wouldn't do that. It wastes over 140MB of space from MyDocs and of course time, if you only want the drivers. And why would you need root's permissions for extracting something to MyDocs?
Better way:

Code:

cd MyDocs #Assuming you are in your home dir, otherwise cd ~/MyDocs
tar zxvf wl1251-maemo-0.1.tar.gz --strip 2 wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/

And then select MyDocs/compat-wireless from the applet.
