1) Your Netgear card MIGHT already be picked up by the installer.
type "dmesg | more" at the prompt and " cat /var/log/dmesg " and see if it
is being picked up...
Also try "cat /etc/conf.modules"
If you see something like
alias eth0 tulip
the installer has already detected it, you merely have to configure the
card.
2) From the console, and preferably WITHOUT Xwindows running, type
sndconfig.

Subject: [newbie] Network / Sound Installaion Issues
I'm pretty new to Linux, but not computers so please bear with me.
I began an install of Mandrake-Linux 7.0 this weekend, and I will agree that
DarkX is a very simplified install client. The only thing is that I had two
issues (actually more, but I solved those last night around 2 am), they are
as follows:
1) I can not find my network card in the list of network cards. Does anyone
know if there is a Linux driver out there for a Netgear EA201 card, if not,
does anyone know what driver will work with it. I tried picking a few in the
install, and most failed, but settled with one that worked. Now, on boot-up,
the card fails.
2) I have no sound. I do not even remember getting a prompt for my audio
card. I know my sound card will work with Linux through an earlier install
of PhatLinux (which I wound up trashing). It's an Ensoniq VIVO (I think)
card. Any clues on where to set this up at?
Thanks for all the help!
Anthony
