I wasn't successful loading the driver through alsa-config. cleaning up
alsa things and using the /etc/modules entry I wrote in an earlier mail
"should" do it.

Is it a 100 or 110? Anyway, Your current alsa configuration will likely
interfere with this method. I don't have _any_ alsa packages installed.
Remove them (alsa-*.deb's + rm -r /etc/alsa) for a new try. Reboot.

Load the modul the way below. The devices "should" be created by udev. 

I've never used the same kernel as you currently use, but I don't think
this matters as the alsacode in there didn't change lot.
