After running autogen.sh run ./configure --help, what you are looking 
for is this:

(...)
By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
(...)

So in your case, like me, you use ./configure --prefix=/usr

I also suggest you to use checkinstall so that installing, updating and 
removing the driver is easier and plays well with the package manager.

Happy new year everyone.
