On the CD, navigate to packages/images and locate the appropriate driver.

Unzip (if .zip) or untar (if .tgz) the driver file to the USB drive.

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.
