generic kernels
In normal circumstances, you should not have to add drivers into your system. If
you add new hardware then the appropriate drivers should be automatically
selected unless you are running a non-generic kernel (that is, if you have built
your own non-generic kernel in order to trim the device support to a minimum).
non-generic kernels
If you are running a non-generic kernel, you need to download the kernel source
code for the release you have installed (or install a package that contains it).
Configure the kernel by following the instructions under "/usr/src/linux" and reboot
to have an OS that includes the new driver. See the answer to the question
"How
do I know what tape drivers I am using at the moment, and what drivers do I need
for running tape backups?"
for further details.
No other configuration should be necessary. However, if you find that have no
SCSI tape device files (/dev/[n]st*) then you may need to rerun the command:
/dev/MAKEDEV all

Software, or the Linux in-built backup applet?"
