Yes it might work. Though running it again might cause your PC to hang up when
its loading the modules. What's your sound card anyway? The new kernels seem to
be looking for a different way to configure the sound. I tried upgrading the

the new module. Not even pnpdump and isapnp can make it work (worked in
2.0.36).
