That is probably the driver for the midi part of the card and you can do 
without it.  Just don't insmod gus.  Use timidity if you need to play midi 
files.

It should work if you use the right programs to listen.
mplayer for mp3, ogg or wav, workbone for CDs

Serial port, a wider style.  Will not work with ethernet cable.

If there is an empty expansion slot you can put in an ethernet card (ISA 
or PCI).  Insert the proper driver(s) for that card.  Then assign a number 
in the same range as your router, or type dhcp and the router should 
assign one automatically.  You can put this new number in rc (ifconfig 
eth0 192.168.0.3 - if the router is 0.1, and another computer is 0.2, for 
example).

There are USB wireless cards that work with our older linux but I have not 
heard of wired ones that do.
