Is it a kernel module? If it is, ensure you have kernel-'unname
-r'-devel installed (you can grab it via yum). Dearchive the
source, ./configure (the script should pick up where the kernel sources
are), make, su, make install. /sbin/ldconfig.

If it's not a kernel driver, just go from the "Dearchive the source"
bit.
