How can I install this driver ?

First, your kernel must be able to use the USB bus, and the virtual filesystem /proc/bus/usb must be mounted.
PPP support must also be enabled in the kernel, and you must have pppd 2.4.1 or later.

The driver can only be installed FROM source. That implies you have the kernel header installed in /usr/src/linux (or there is a symbolic link on them). You must extract the source from the archive with tar, go in the new directory so created, and issue the following command:

make

Once the driver is compiled, go to root and issue the following command:

make install

This command will ask you some information about your connection to generate the connection scripts and configuration files.
Then it will install all the files required for the driver to work correctly.

Which USB driver to use ?

The 2.4.x kernel has two UHCI drivers. This driver works with both. It seems that the alternate driver (JE) is closer to what the USB specifications of the Linux Kernel says. However, this driver has not been tested as much as the standard USB driver. The driver choice does
not seem to have any influence.

There is only one OHCI driver.
