	I've got a Dell 7500 Inspirion with this in it.  I've been emailed
the following instructions for it, from Taku YAMAMOTO
<taku@cent.saitama-u.ac.jp> (I've quoted them below).  I've only had
one problem with this card, it doesn't play on out the speakers built
into the notebook.  But it plays fine out of the headphone jack on the
side.  I know the speakers work, plays fine when booting under
windows.  Other than it's been fine.

I've written up Maestro driver (beta, mixer and playback). Please test
it.
But this is beta quality and may have lots of problems.
Beware!

To install:

0. Get driver source tarball from:
       
http://access.cent.saitama-u.ac.jp/~taku/freebsd/maestro/releng4-20000725.tar.gz

1. Check MD5 checksum if you want.
MD5 (releng4-20000725.tar.gz) = b42179b09016d2cf77055ae559395a67

2. If your kernel doesn't have device pcm, add following line to your
config
   and recompile:
        device pcm

3. Untar the archive.
4. cd to maestro, make and make install.
   If you get errors, unter the archive under sys/modules and retry.
5. Your card is not a Maestro-2E, you can kldload maestro without
reboot.
   Otherwise, add following to /boot/loader.conf and reboot:
        maestro_load="YES"
6. Enjoy.
7. When you find problems, please mail to me :)

The driver can also be statically linked to your kernel. Just FYI.
Good luck.
