Well, it's a tarball, so here's the standard mechanism for building and
installing one.

1. Download the tarball to a scratch directory

2. Extract the tarball's contents:

	$ tar xzf name-of-tarball.tar.gz

That unpacks it into a directory (usually) named the same as the tarball
but without the ".tar.gz" bit.

3. "cd" into that directory and run

	$ ./configure

That configures the source.

4. Build the driver:

	$ make

5. Become the root user:

	$ su
	Password: (enter root user's password)

6. Install the driver:

	# make install

7. Try to load the driver:

	# modprobe name-of-driver

8. Verify that the driver loaded:

	# lsmod | grep name-of-driver

9. See if you have an eth0 device now:

	# ifconfig

10. If you have eth0, try to configure your network:

	# ifconfig eth0 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd netmask www.xxx.yyy.zzz

That's pretty much it.
