Jen, If you click on this url, or paste it to your browser http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/aureal/au88xx-1.1.2.tar.bz2, hold down the shift key and then click the mouse the driver that you need will start to download to you system.. I have mine in my root directory. After you download the driver, make sure that you have the kernel-headers loaded. To check if your kernel-headers are loaded do this ls /usr/src/linux/include/linux and your screen shoud have on it things like 802_11.h, a.out.h fd1772.h fddidevice.h loop.h lp.h and a lot of files like that. If your kernel-headers are not loaded and you have the CD's do uname -r, that will tell you what hernel that you have, then do a urpmi kernel-headers-<version> and that will load the kernel-headers. Once that is done go to the dir where you downloaded the au88xx file to and do bunzip2 au88xx-1.1.2.tar.bz2. then do tar -xvf au88xx-1.1.2.tar and that will open the file to a directory called aureal do cd aureal and then read the README or do ./make install20 and the driver should install. If you get screens and screens of errors that means your kernel-headers are loaded wrong. I use the Aureal 10 and it is great.
