Note: For Linux, do not use the driver from the external Linux distribution if it is
older than the currently supported driver. Instead, use the current driver from the

Note: If using Winzip or another Windows utility to extract the Linux
file, use the .zip version instead of the .tgz version. Otherwise the files
will not be compatible with Linux.
