Sure. You cannot combine the -x (extract) and -c (create) commands at one time. [1] You most probably want to run "tar -xvf rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.2012040.tar.gz". Regards, -- -Chuck [1]: In fact, you can't combine any of the option flags in the list '-Acdtrux' since they are all mutually exclusive...this is what the error message said, of course.
