My apologies.... what is top post and how am I doing this?

I did find dd files that have the driver update but am lost on trying to get these into the install. Sorry but I don't understand what you are saying.
I appreciate your willingness to help and all the others that have replied. My apologies for being frustrating. I'll have to read more.
You just top posted, again. #0: fuck Outlook, and anything like it. FOLLOW, or intercollate, with the responses to your email. Follow, as in put your response AT THE BOTTOM, of the email, not the top.
Just the way I'm responding to the email, above. Think of it as a conversation - you know what someone's said, *before* you respond. Top posting means I have no idea what you're responding to - you're not talking to someone in person.... And for anyone coming into an email thread late... I, and I think most folks, have *zero* intention of going to the bottom of an email which contains everything said in the thread, esp. with nothing edited out, and reading down a message, then paging up to read the response, then paging up *again* to read the next response.
That's a M$ asinine introduction, and I despise it, since it makes it incredibly difficult to follow what's going on.
I dunno, though - just dd'ing in the driver isn't going to work, if you mean that you dd'd the driver itself in, or was there an .rpm? If the latter, you need to find out what it does when it installs - where the actual driver's supposed to go, in what subdirectory, and then, of course, the last step would be to insmod it, and *then* rebuild the initrd so that it's included on boot.

Google for "anaconda driverdisk", and you will find many write-ups on howto supply drivers during installation.
