Sounds as if you are trying to install Windows drivers; that's not going to work. I don't know what chipset that card is but if a driver isn't already available in Linux then you need a Linux driver from the manufacturer.

Linux should install its own drivers. If it's not working, either your card is not supported or there is a bug. In that case, do a Google search to see if anyone has posted a solution. In the future, I always do a search under reviews of components I am considering for purchase to see if they run out of the box in Linux.
