Installing Atheros ar8131 Driver (tar.gz) Please Help

[del337er]

Ok guys, I just installed Ubuntu on my Aspire 1 laptop and it wouldn't recognize my ethernet port (Atheros ar8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet). I was told to download and install the driver for that product, so I did. http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx (AR81Family Linux Driver) The problem is, im not sure how to install the driver. I know how to decompress tar.gz files, but beyond that I don't know much. The README file that was included isn't much help because i don't understand it. (I attached it, maybe you can understand it better than me.) I am somewhat a newbie to Linux, so please explain thoroughly. Thanks.

I will not help you because you PM'ed requesting help. Not even sure why you chose me to PM, as I don't have that info. I will tell you that I found out exactly how to install that in Ubuntu in less than 5 seconds. Do not PM me because "Its just that I really need an answer fast.", especially if it's in a forum that I rarely go into. If you have a Mythbuntu question, let me know.
