This Zip file has a bunch of info for Win9x, DOS & Win3.xx, WinNT, OS/2, & Novell NetWare. I put a readme.txt file in the root directory, so read that after you unzip it to see what everything does.
Redhat Linux 6.1 has what it needs for the card, but I haven't gotten mine to 'initialize' properly yet, & since that is what I was looking for, I have not used anything in this Zip file.
Good Luck! Hahahaha

In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager

Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
Select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.
In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.
Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.
