[CLUE-Tech] Sound Card for Mandrake 9.0 - 9.1 ? - "modules.conf" file

Mandrake "modules.conf" file:

probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias eth0 ne2k-pci

Mandrake has nothing about sound, but I don't really see the sound 
section in the Knoppix either.  I suppose I have to boot up Knoppix 
again and look in the  "/etc/modutils" file or folder and see what is in 
there.

Knoppix "modules.conf" file:
