:-) What should they else do? However, maybe one day Linux will be a big
enough a market that we can strike back :)
BTW: For good sound support under Linux, I would not suggest a SB card. They
tend to put the intelligence in the driver, which is not good for Linux.
OTOH, I can't recommend any other card, too.

The package name is "isapnptools", and is probably installed by default (on
Debian 2.0 at least).

Better you use "make config; make-kpkg clean; make-kpkg
--revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image" with the kernel package installed. Then
run "dpkg -i ../<name_of_created_deb_file>"
