Drivers for "officially" supported devices are included in the Linux
kernel and don't require any installation.

If you made the mistake of buying hardware that requires vendor-provided
drivers you must find the instructions for that particular driver
(usually a file called "INSTALL" or "README" in the driver package) and
follow those instructions carefully.
