Sadly it's a PnP jobby :-((( which is why I've always had so much
grief.  In the past I have manually loaded modules for it.  But they
did not load at boot despite setting it up to do so.  I think I got a
peep of sound out of it under a pre-release version of Xandros (one of
my tester disks).  I know I can get a decent fully working PCI card
from the shop in W'ton for about £6 or £7.  I'm loathe do so so though
as it is a very good card when it runs :-(

Is there a run through for using it 'loadln' method anywhere?  Sorry,
it's something I'm not familiar with being a GUI junkie :-/
