Any suggestions, then? I have been able to get the drivers in a .tar.gz
compressed file they say generically is for Linux, not what distribution.
Guess I'll have to find what to do with them. Thanks.
There's no harm in trying alien; if it doesn't work, you can fall back to using the tarball'ed version.
apt-get install alien alien --to-deb foo.rpm dpkg -i foo.deb
