Driver installation on Linux...Help

[rworld]

Dear friends,

I am new to Linux And want to know how to install the driver for hardware after installation of O.S.

My sound card is not detected and so why I want to learn the driver installation on this O.S to which I can easily install any hardware.

Thanks.

hi,

Download the driver from the site of the hardware manufacturer for the OS you require.
it could be either an RPM or a source file.
use rpm -ivh <filename> to install the .rpm file.
to build from the source run the script with the configure commands in the folder.
