Brian,
I think i mentioned this before... but ill mention it again.
modprobe sb
this will likely make your sound work, however it may not be the ideal driver
for your card.
doing lsmod (as root on your linux system that does have sound working...)
will show you your loaded modules, you should see one for your sound device,
as well as one or more for sound in general (these are auto-loaded when your
sound driver (module) is loaded.)

its difficult to say from here... but probably you could get/use a hub/switch,
plug everything into it (computer, router, ...) and be set. There is this
networking protocol (tcp/ip) called Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision
Detect(CSMACD), which is often forgotten by even experienced network
people... basicly it means packets fly all over the place and get sucked up
by the appropriate computer.
packet collision! its ok... csmacd

I mean, well, if it were not for Linux I might be roaming the streets looking
for drugs or prostitutes or something. Hannu and Linus have my highest
admiration (apple polishing mode off).
