I would first suggest looking in the documentation/readme for the
driver.  It may have a installation procedure that will handle putting
it in the filesystem for you.  FYI, most modules are loaded using the
command modprobe, and it looks for the modules under /lib/modules.

This would be tough, since you'd have to mount the iso as a loopback
device, recompile the kernel/add the driver/whatever, than remake the
iso and burn it.  I have only the vaguest idea on how to accomplish
this.  Maybe somebody can elaborate, or you can find something on the
web with some good Google searches.
