Yep, you need to set the default run-level. Go superuser and open /etc/inittab in a text editor and look for the line that looks something like:
Then change the 5 to a 3, save and reboot. When you've installed the driver, edit the file again and change the 3 back to a 5.
This could be slightly different on you distro so if you run into trouble post back with which distro and possibly the contents of inittab.
