How do I tell what is in the package or what was used to compile it? Altho I did not try it, since the date of the update on Dell's site is fairly old, I suspected it would not work. But then, how do I also select the alsa drivers? If I run 'redhat-config-soundcard' it comes back with "No sound cards were detected". If I run the Hardware Browser, it lists CS4235B for the Game, MPU, and WSS/SB and driver ad1848 for the WSS/SB and driver cs4232 for the Game and MPU devices. In Unknown Devices, there is an entry for CS4236B: Ctrl and driver ns558 for it. I don't know what it is telling me, or what my next step should be. Pointing me to a HowTo or several or other documentation would also be appreciated.
