How would I go about configuring hardware without the RedHat tools? More specifically, I need to configure a sound card for use with Lindows 4 (which doesn't have sndconfig, I tried, it also don't have man

) I also need to configure a PCMCIA modem for use with Lindows as well. What tools are best for what?
Modem: It detects the US-Robotics 33.6K X2 upgradeable modem upon insertion and loads and unloads a Lucent driver several times. Trying to use it doesn't work (and my ISP software's only available for WinBlows or Lindows.). Removing it causes a kernel panic (Com3 not syncing, obviously since the device is not there anymore). Again, what tool do I use to set it up and test it? Device is a US Robotics model XJ1336 (33.6K Megahertz PCMCIA modem upgradeable to 56K X2 technology, made before the 56K speed was standardized).
Sound: What tool do I use to work on my sound card so aRTs can use it? It currently does NOTHING and I haven't seen the configuration utility under Lindows. Not sure what kind've device it is yet, though I am trying to probe it. It should autodetect if I can find how to query it.
