Two add-on modules.

1) N.I.C. is a D-Link DFE-530TX Rev D2 PCi card.
Has been suggested for this that the 8139too.o works as opposed to the
8139.o (all from the
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/add-ons/2_2_26/modules/net/
repository)
OTOH, one of the driver download sites for a dfe-530tx suggested a
driver-zipfile that unzips to a rhine-chipset module, similar to the
repository's via-rhine.o .
Anyone have any experience which one of these two modules would work
in BL3-50 for the DFE-590TX; the 8139too.o vs. this via-rhine.o module
??

2) The sound card is a built-in computer component which registers as
a 'Crystal PnP Audio System MPU-401 Compatible' in Windows 98.
The BL3-50 modules repository at
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/add-ons/2_2_26/modules/misc/
lists several similar sounding modules:
- Crystal chipset cs4232.o
- Crystal chipset cs4281.o
- Crystal chipset cs46xx.o
- MPU-401 chipset mpu401.o
Anyone familiar with this to recommend which module for this sound
card is best (or will work at all?)
--------
Related to this last question are the 'How to Activate SoundBlaster
Audio' insructions at
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/baslinux/sound.html
Win98 device manager lists the device resources as
Crystal PnP Audio System CODEC, IRQ=9, io=0x330-0x331
Crystal PnP Audio System MPU-401 Compatible, IRQ=5, DMA=00, 01
... io=0x220-0x22F io=0x388-0x38B io=0x534-0x537

Once one of the above sound modules gets substituted for the generic sb.o,
then
what else gets appropriately replaced for this in the activation sequence
"insmod <module> io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=0 mpu_io=0x330" ????
------

TY for any help with these!
