Hi, i think there's some file called README or INSTALL among the files in the archive. Read these! There usually is explained how to install the drivers. I also think that what you've downloaded are only the sources. You have to compile them first to get the real drivers out. But as saif before, this should be explained in the README or INSTALL file. Good luck!
