No, actually I am not using linuxconf. What I said was the card was not
in linuxconf's list of available drivers. I also said it is not in MCC's
Network Wizard list either. You see I do some checking on my own before
I post. This is how I know the lists are incomplete not because I use
linuxconf. I use MCC for most of my base configurations and then
generally hand edit the scripts the rest of the way. As to
lspcidrake....You are pretty un-familiar with this post or you wouldn't
have asked that.

Results of lspcidrake are USELESS as that is/was not the problem. The
card is recognized as a Myson 803 device just fine (PCI Vendor ID=1516
PCI Device ID=803). 

The actual problem was just simply adding the cards name and driver
(which is already installed by default in Mandrake) to the list of names
in either MCC Net Wizard. or in linuxconf. This was done by adding the
line:
fealnx          Myson 803 based (Asound ALM02)

to the /usr/lib/linuxconf/kmodules.list file. All is resolved now thanks
to Ben. 

Thanks again Ben,
David
