[newbie] configuring sound and network cards

[Richard Garand]

I have a Startech NE2000 compatible ethernet card on ISA, and a Yamaha
waveforce 192XG PCI sound card. How do i configure these to work in linux?
For the ethernet card, i know the windows hardware settings, my IP address,
my subnet mask, 2 DNS servers, the search domain or domain suffix and the
default gateway address (for my internet connection)
