The kernel should recognize the card if the sound driver is compiled in, or the module is loaded at boot time. If it is really SB Pro compatible on the hardware level, then all that should be needed is to add the cards ID's to the probing code if it is a PnP card. If it is not, and the card and the driver agrees on the resources, then you're probably out of luck. If the card is SB Pro compatible in the marketing departments minds, (read: softwarebased emulation) then you will have to find a driver that supports the actual chipset that is used. --- Erik H.
