Download the hvr1300 tarball.
Unpack it.
As root cd to the root of the unpacked directory.
# make clean
# make distclean
# make

At this point make sure you do  not have any build errors. The entire 
build process take around 120 seconds on my pc.

If the build finishes without error,

# make unload
# make install
# make load

At this point the card should be recognised if everything has 
built/installed correctly.

The procedure is described here:
