I do not know the specifics of that device, but in general, you should
copy those files to a particular directory, change directory, and type
the command ‘make’. Once that completes without error, then ‘sudo
make install’. That should make the driver available. You would than
need to ‘sudo /sbin/modprobe -v xxxx’, where xxxx.ko is the
driver’s name.
Once the driver loads correctly, you then need to configure it.
