My home network is protected (I think) by an ipcop router. Friday, one of
the NICs failed after about four years and a second one is temperamental
with the cable connection. So, I bought two new D-Link NICs, but I need to
install the drivers.

My question, then, is where does linux install such drivers? I can login as
root and the box has a CD (the NICs came with the drivers and M$-Win
software to install the drivers :-/ ).

Thanks for any support,
