It's not working because you are not in the right directory.
You need to cd into the directory you saved it in...

[mhussain@mhussain Download]$ pwd
/home/mhussain/Download
[mhussain@mhussain Download]$ ls -ld wifizoo*
-rw-rw-r--. 1 mhussain mhussain 913343 2009-09-07 11:00 wifizoo.tar
[mhussain@mhussain Download]$ tar xf wifizoo.tar
[mhussain@mhussain Download]$ ls -ld wifizoo*
-rw-rw-r--. 1 mhussain mhussain 913343 2009-09-07 11:00 wifizoo.tar
drwxrwxr-x. 4 mhussain mhussain 4096 2009-09-07 11:00 wifizoo_v1.3

And it works no problem, if you are not in the right directory it won't work
