Is your system x86_64? 64 bit? If not, then the driver won't work on your system.

If so, then this forum may be of some use to you, both in aiding you through a step by step process, and any potential errors that may come up:
LinuxQuestions.org.

In terminal,
1) Goto source directory (since you would be initially 'Home', and I have no idea where you've placed the driver, let's say for instance the driver is in its own folder in the 'Home' directory.

$~username:cd driverfolder (hit enter)

$~username/driverfolder


2) Execute make command as root (Here, you can either type su at the prompt and hit enter, then your root password; or type su make and hit enter, and then your root password. Either will do the same thing, except, su make will start the make process right after you type your password.

If you've only typed su, then your password, then all you have to do is type
make (enter)

Let it go through its routine, watch for errors. When it's finished, type
make install (enter) again, watch for errors. You'll probably need to refer to Linux Questions for help and answers if something goes awry.

The developers of Alsa, open source sound drivers are working on the drivers for your card right now. They just received the documents for it, according to the website.

I hope this helps.
