The OSSfree driver that comes with your 2.2.2 kernel should work with the card.
My guess is that you don't have the proper entry for it in /etc/conf.modules.
Do you have an entry in /etc/conf.modules for sound? Did you set it to the
irq that the pci system gave to the card at boottime?
------------------------------------------------------
conf.modules entry:
--------------------------------------------------------
alias char-major-14 sound
alias sound sb
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
Of course, put the irq that was given the card at boottime.
