Introduction

• Linux is a Kernel that comes with built-in Drivers for many types of Hardware.
• Yet, with newer Hardware, the installation procedure does not always manage to configure a proper Driver...
• ...Or the Driver is not found in our distribution's Kernel.
• In these cases, we want to be able to find the right Driver, install it and configure it to work properly.
• In this lecture, we will get an initial idea of how to do that.

Once again, remember what sets off "the hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy" from "the encyclopedia Galactica": It has, written on its top, the phrase: Don't Panic!
