What is the exact model of netbook and network card?
Where did you find the instructions to download the driver & what is the
link for the driver? Perhaps if you can give us that information we can
assist.

These might help:

[Installing tarballs]
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement
but I'd recommend you answer the questions before you try to install
yourself.
