I got a Terratec card apparently based on the Crystal chip to work
well with the 2.0 kernels. Try to find the parameters (IRQ, IO, etc.)
under Windows and fill them in during kernel config. If it wont't work
this way, you might have to mess with the isapnp-package.

The PnP-stuff in 2.2-kernels is only about some parallel port
stuff. I don't think it will help with sound. There is a sound
related change, though. With the 2.0 kernels, if you compiled sound
as a module, you still had to enter your card settings at configure
time. For 2.2 sound modules, you have to specify the resources when
you insert the module.
Good luck,
Robert
