Dear All,
 
I'm new to Linux. To install the driver of my network card in Red Hat Linux
7.2, I had to compile it.
 
The driver is in a .tar.gz file, which contains some  .h, and .c files, and
a Makefile.
 
So, what are the steps needed to compile this driver? The help file included
mentions that the user should compile the driver to have the object file,
without any details of the compiling process.
