On my Soyo Dragon+ board, running 2.4.18-k7 stock Debian kernel I just
have to load the cmpci module. Just 'modprobe cmpci' and add a line to
/etc/modules with the word 'cmpci' to ensure it gets loaded at each
reboot.
There are other gotchas for applications. The most common problem is
not having the user id that wants to use the audio car in the audio
group.
