If you want to load the module on booting you can install the arc88 module to the kernel modules by typing:

sh# make install

You need to be root or use "sudo" to do this.

To test the driver without installing it into your kernel directory, you have to
do the following steps:

1. Compiling the module

   you have to load the alsa modules:
