I don't recall the early post on this, and whether you said other Linux
dists see the card or not, but I know on one of my machines (admittedly a
bit old... 486 vintage) works properly only when I disable the comm ports
and the parallel port in BIOS. Linux still finds what it needs (esp. cards
plugged into the board). My Realtek doesn't show up otherwise.
Have no idea what would have happened to Windoze under those circumstances,
but then again, Descent was a DOS game off the SB card. ;-)
