What is the difference between .o & .c driver files?

I know I have loaded .o drivers.
When I'm looking for patches they are always .c and display as text in my browser window.
I don't know what to do with these.

The .c ones are c or c++ source code. When you get a patch, there should be a README or INSTALL file that will give you directions.

Actually, .c files are C source code, .cpp and .cc are C++ source code http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif .o files are compiled source code.

Rookie question here.

I have a problem with a driver.
In searching newsgroups someone posts thier patch in the news group.

I appears as text in my browser.

What do I do with it?
