Well on Debian, udev seems to take care of loading the correct module for any auto detectable sound card, after which is just works. There is nothing to do. For older soundcards, I add the module manually to /etc/modules to have it loaded at boot, and that's it. Messing with isapnp doesn't seem to be necesary anymore (probably hasn't been for 5 years or so). -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
