I have a USB-to-LAN converter, and downloaded the its drivers. The driver folder consists of a Makefile
file, a .c
file and a .h
file.
How do I install such a driver?
Install the build-essential package with:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Change the directory to the extracted driver folder; suppose it's under your home directory as Downloads/driversource
, with:
cd ~/Downloads/driversource
Type make && sudo make install
This should build and install the driver. You will probably need to reboot to activate the installed driver.
