Unless you use qemu and binfmt_misc.
Carl,
It looks like you will need to install qemu, configure binfmt_misc to
call qemu whenever you try to run an x86 executable¹ and install the x86
version of the driver from that website. Avoid the 64 bit version for
now since the Pi's userland is still limited, even on the 3, to 32 bit.
It may be a bit slow but it should at least work.
1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binfmt_misc is reasonable, including
the references section.
