THX, but what next...
meaning where the module needs to be copied in order to install it? Not on a cd that's for sure

It's a kernel module. Download somewhere (hint: There's still such a thing as a floppy disk for example, should you not have a CD-RW handy). Take said CD to machine you want to install. Untargz and make install outside of the chroot, in the RAM filesystem provided by the LiveCD. Then probe the module, configure the interface, and voila, link.
