Release Notes for Cisco Aironet Client Utilities, Version 2.1 for Linux
OL-5750-01
  Installing ACU Release 2.1
Note
These instructions are the same regardless of whether you are doing an initial install or upgrading from 
a previous version. If you are upgrading, your previous driver and client utilities are overwritten by the 
new ones.
Installation Shell Script Overview
The installation shell script is available for PCI and kernel PCMCIA configurations (such as Red Hat 
9.0, which ships with kernel PCMCIA enabled). For these systems, execute sh install as root. This 
program builds and installs the drivers and utilities for these configurations. If you have a PCI card only, 
the driver is properly installed and configured, eliminating the need to download card and socket 
services. Executing sh install -C forces the script to compile the driver sources.
To remove the drivers and utilities installed by install, execute sh install -R. After you have answered 
yes to the question asked, the drivers and the utilities are removed from your system. Other options are 
provided for installing the utilities or drivers only. Executing sh install -id installs and builds the drivers, 
and sh install -iu installs the utilities. 
The options -rd and -ru remove the drivers or utilities respectively. For Red Hat 9.0 this is the kernel 
source rpm named kernel-source-2.4.20-8.i386.rpm. You can find this on CD 2 of the Red Hat 9.0 
distribution in the directory Redhat/RPMS. Copy the file to a local directory or install it from the CD by 
entering rpm -iv kernel-source-2.4.20-9.i386.rpm. You must have the kernel source installed, and you 
can verify the installation by executing ls /usr/src. If the source is installed, you should see the message 
“linux-2.4  linux-2.4.20-9.” If you do not see this message, the sources are not installed. If the install 
script cannot locate the kernel source it prompts you to enter it. The prompt can appear if you compile 
the kernel sources. The installation of sources using Red Hat 9.0 places a link to the source in the 
/usr/src/Linux-2.4 directory. If the sources are installed, entering this directory in answer to the prompt 
causes the operation to proceed.
Installation Procedures
Note
Because system-level changes are made, install runs properly only if executed as root.
Installing or upgrading to version 2.1 is relatively simple. Shell script install is included in the download 
file to help install the driver and ACU. The script can accommodate a new installation or an upgrade. In 
the case of an upgrade, it is no longer necessary to remove any files from the previous version, install 
accomplishes that as part of the installation process. 
Before you can use the ACU and some of the LEAP login utilities, you must download two libraries: 
libgtkmm version 1.2.10
libsigc++ version 1.0.4
The source can be downloaded from 
, compiled, and installed or you can 
download and install the binaries from your favorite web site.
