no. sudo chown -R root.root /lib/firmware/zd1211 sudo find /lib/firmware -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; sudo find /lib/firmware/zd1211 -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; (chown syntax is wrong; it is better to make sure all the directories are readable as well - directory's 'execution' permission means one can cd to it, nothing more, unlike file's execution permission). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Zd1211-devs mailing list - http://zd1211.wiki.sourceforge.net/ Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/zd1211-devs
