Where do people get drivers for linux, it seemes that all the drivers are for windows. Also, is the same driver good for multiple distrobutions?

Usally on alot of the companys websites they have linux drivers. And unless i states I would always use drivers that are known to work with that ever distro you got!

drivers are in the kernel too, perhaps you should have a look.
heres whatcha do:
(you must be in root!) cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig
then u will see lots of drivers and options, enable/disable what you need to thenn:
(for 2.4 kernel ) make dep && make bzImage modules modules_install
(for 2.6 kernel) make && make modules_install
then when u r copy the bzImage and System.map over the old ones
