You need to copy the file from the USB drive to the system you want to upgrade then try the tar command. Otherwise you will be unzipping it on the USB drive.
So use cp /usbdrive/ethool-5.tar.tar /whereverlocaldrive/ethool-5.tar.tar then
tar -zxvd (dont forget the -) ethool-5.tar.tar
Depending on the version of linux etc there is probably a system installer that would make this easier.. like yum or yast or apt etc.

If you are trying to unzip in your usb drive, make sure you have permission to write on that drive. You could just try coping to a temporary place on your local machine. I do know that you have to install NTFS drivers to access that filesystem. I am assuming that your USB drive is NTFS and your linux is ext3
