I wouldn't even try. You need the right kernel modules to match your kernel. lets back up. We know this card works with unstable and some 2.6 kernel version. Which kernel version are you running in stable? umm... never mind, google says that ca0106 showed up in 2.6.11 which is not in stable. To use this card with stable you'll either need a backported kernel (and probably alsa* as well) or you need to upgrade to etch (and that's probably not a bad idea at this point). A
