file, a .c
file and a .h
file.
How do I install such a driver?

Best Answer
Install the build-essential package with:
Change the directory to the extracted driver folder; suppose it's under your home directory as
Downloads/driversource
, with:Type
make && sudo make install
This should build and install the driver. You will probably need to reboot to activate the installed driver.
