After you untar the driver there sould be a README file in there. Which will have specific instructions. If I had to guess what it wants you to do is open a terminal, and enter the following commands:

cd <the drivers derectory>
./configure
make
su
<enter root password>
make install

That's the standard/generic way for it to go. Also what network card is this for, and what distro are you using?
