Thanks, but that wasn't it (Thinkpad 1412). There is no eth1 anything on my system and no eth1 anything getting loaded either.
I finally managed to get alsa working in an "iffy" manner. I downloaded, built, and installed the latest stable alsa source (0.5.12a) which is said to contain a fix for kernels >2.4.14. I also downloaded alsaconf and installed that. After installing the 12a drivers, I rebooted and then ran alsaconf to generate what it thought was the correct modules.conf entries. They didn't work the first time - I then commented out all my old oss module entries and rebooted again (simply restarting alsa didn't do squat, nor did anything else I tried short of rebooting...SUCKS like windoze). Finally, after this reboot I saw that sound-card-0 was loaded and I actually got sound. Looking at kcontrol -> information -> sound it now not only properly identifies the card (just as it always has) but it also has Audio Devices (DUPLEX): ESS Solo1 Instead of "NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG". However, the entries for Synth Devices and Mixer Devices still has: "NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG". Sound, nontheless, had problems this morning at startup/login of kde (of course, there IS that retarded artsd afterall) with all kinds of messages about wrong-sized mcop files and whatnot. I manually restarted artsd and sound is currently working. I'll see how long it lasts. With the builtin oss driver I could also get sound but it would croak after about 10 minutes or so due to "CPU overload". Cockamamy $@##!!
