I am new to Linux, (child of the gui generation) but I am trying to learn so i hope some of you will bear with me.

Linux has been great so far but unfortunately I cannot get my soundcard or modem to work.

The modem is a BT Yahoo ASDL speedtouch. Any help would be appreciated.

The soundcard is an AC 97.

Neither of these items will work under Mandrake 9.2 or SUSE 9.1


Please could some of the more experienced give me some advice as to how (a complete beginner) could get these items to work.

my specs are below, thankyou for your patience with a newbie!

stevenF_2004; my advice stll stands as prior post

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
