Network and Sound issues



Hello Everyone!!
I am new to the whole debian scene, and mailing lists in general, but I was told this was the right place to ask hard questions. That said, here is a sit-rep of my two problems: I am running Debian (2.24 I believe) on a Compaq presario 1230. This laptop is about 7 years old, making it perfect for debian :)!! Anyways I got debian installed, and X-Windows up and running. It works great except the network card and sound do not work. My nic is a "Xircom Credit Card Ethernet 10/100 Ready" (Xircom CE3B -100BTX). How do I get it to work? (what drivers to add, and files to edit, etc.?) It is critical that this problem get solved! As for the sound, I get a message everytime to start X-Windows, saying that I do not have permission to used the "dsp" device that generates the sound. How do I correct this? I installed the 'vanilla' flavor of debian, if that helps.... Any help would be fantastic! Thanks!

-Will
