It is a Dayna PCI card, for 10baseT networks. I used the PCI NE2000 option
with success when I installed it. It also worked when I attempted to
install a 2.0.34 kernel (which unfortunately did not accept my
SoundBlaster 16 - it's a PnP, so I wanted to go for the 2.2 kernel that
has the PnP support.)

Did all of that, and it was set up with correct IRQ and all, but I still
couldn't use /dev/audio. It is, as mentioned, a PnP. Should I use the
mysterious "isapnptools" package?

Thanks, Bill
