Manually installing a cheapo usb wifi adapter / driver - LB-Link

Ok so I have gone and bought the cheapest wifi adapter possible (LB-Link) on the bay for £1.50. No surprises it is not showing up in the network devices.

I have looked in the plugin / driver section and the driver for this chipset is not there (Realtek8188)

So I have downloaded the Linux driver from the Realtek site.

rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20120405.tar

Should I extract the above folder then FTP it to the zgemma? If so, what folders to I put drivers in.

P.S yes I know I could have paid a few quid more for one with a driver already installed, and yes I know its best to use homeplugs .. I am doing that right now. This is more of a test to give me some more options.

Thanks in advance!
