For network devices, there is a dialog for it during expert
install (e.g. you can provide a module name and module option if
nothing is detected).

For sound cards, it's not important enough for having it done
as a dialog during install, especially since we don't have the
sound modules in boot kernel (since it's not needed) so we won't
be able to try to insmod it and report any failure; though the
following has been added lately for user satisfaction:

    #- if no sound card are detected AND the user selected things needing a sound card,
    #- propose a special case for ISA cards
    my $isa_sound_card = 
      !@sound_cards && ($o->{compssUsersChoice}{GAMES} || 
$o->{compssUsersChoice}{AUDIO}) &&
        sub {
            if ($o->ask_yesorno('', _("Do you have an ISA sound card?"))) {
                $o->do_pkgs->install('sndconfig');
                $o->ask_warn('', _("Run \"sndconfig\" after installation to configure 
your sound card"));
            } else {
                $o->ask_warn('', _("No sound card detected. Try \"harddrake\" after 
installation"));
            }
        };


Btw Titi maybe you should replace "harddrake" by "harddrake2"
now? (and don't forget to perl -pi -e the po's ;p).
