Installing Linux Drivers Using the TAR File
To install Linux drivers using the TAR file:
1.
Create a directory and extract the TAR files to the directory:
tar xjvf fastlinq-minor-<version>.tar.bz2
2.
Change to the recently created directory, and then install the drivers:
cd fastlinq-minor-<version>
make clean; make install
The qed and qede drivers will be installed in the following paths.
