How to configure AC97 onboard sound card in Debian/unstable

["J.S.Sahambi" <jsahambi@iitg.ernet.in>]

I installed my new system which has onboard AC97 sound card. I tried to 
install the sound with "sndconfig" but it reports that

The Intel Corp. I82801DB AC'97 Controller is not currently supported.

So how do I make the sound card work? Any pointers?

Thanking in advance
