I just installed Linux Mint and I am trying to get my usb soundcard to work. I am completely new to Linux so I have only been learning about all the important parts of the OS this afternoon. No one I know has compiled kernel so I can't ask anyone.

I am following instructions on this site:

http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Benutzer/BigMc#Final-setup-of-US-122L-US-144

"Recompile your Kernel with ehcd-hcd as a module: Instructions for Ubuntu (german) Change "Device Drivers -> USB support -> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support)" to "M" when configuring. Make sure you also install the kernel headers."

I know how to do any of these processes. Someone mentioned a package manager. Is recompiling basically in layman's terms reinstallation? Where do I go to the change device drivers?

Cheers

Edit: I am attempting to be able to use my Tascam US-144 on Linux Mint. Apparently, to use it properly it has to regress to functionality of a former unit (US-122), so according to the instructions a USB port has to be USB 1.0, rather than USB 2.0.

I've tried using that ndis** programme for wireless drivers but with no success.
