If you have the driver source then make and (as root) make install should 
build it and install it.

You then need to add a line to /etc/modules.conf like

alias eth0 yourdrivername

You will also need to configure the card.

Are you sure the driver is not loaded and the card is simply unconfigured?

What is the output of lsmod?
