I was woundering if you could help me get my Via AC'97 Sound Card to work
in 2.4.20+ it would be most appreciated because that is the only sound

a binary only driver for a RedHat System and i don't run RedHat I run
Slackware-9.0-beta1. So if possible would you please help me out.
Thank you inadavnce.
