driver patch file installation

[Neil Phipps]

I had a similar problem at first ... the files are gz files and you need
to load them as gz and then zcat -d them (at least thats what I do) ...
then cd to /usr/src/linux and then run the patch from there ... more or
less ... Doug has some instructions on his page as well ...

regards,

Neil
