Does the kernel recognize the usb modem driver after extraction?


Hi!
I have just downloaded a driver for Aztech 100u usb modem from lugs.org.sg . I copied the file to linux via samba and extracted the files using the file roller program in redhat 8.

Now,there's a problem. I do not know whether the modem driver is installed in the kernal already or not. Is there a way to test ( in GUI or command line) to check if the Aztech 100u usb modem driver is installed in the kernel?

If it is,do you know the steps to start up a broadband connection to the web?
Or if it isn't,what should I do to install the driver ?

Pls reply quickly if you can.....thanks!

Did you build the driver? or just extract it from the tarball?
Can you see any instructions/readme/install files?
