It's not a stupid question if you don't know Unix that well.

If it's anywhere, it's in /usr/sbin, which is where all system-specific
stuff is supposed to be on Unix SVR4/5 wannabees (Red Hat, Mandrake,
SuSE, Caldera, Polished etc, not Slackware, don't know about Debian or
the others).

It belongs to root and should be in your search path if you have su'ed
to root. Without having done that, you won't be able to install the
driver.

There are 3 commands under Linux for finding files if you don't know
where they are: which filename, whence filename and find filename. find
is especially useful, since you can do a great deal of maintenance with
it, especially piping it to other commands (man find), but it takes
longer than the other 2 to find things.

Join a local Linux Users' Group!

Best,

Tony
