you can use jockey. jockey-kde is still buggy, but you can install and 
use jockey-gtk. normally, these provide a GUI known as "restricted 
driver manager", but they can be used as CLI programs as well.
jockey-gtk --help
this should give you enough info on usage, we are mainly interested in the:
jockey-gtk -l
part, after seeing what drivers are available, you can use the:
sudo jockey-gtk -e DRIVER
command to enable it.
