Which distro you are using? which is you ethernet hardware model? What error you get during driver installation?

Generally installation instruction provided in README file.

BTW you need to install some development library to compile source.

C'mon, you should read the instructions on how to present your problem(s).
These fine people (gurus) don't have time to guess what hardware you have
or if you need a driver. Also, you should learn the Unix file system so you'll
know what every file is and all the commands needed and how to use the keyboard.
This will take you at least six months. I know it's a drag, however, it is worth it.
