[Wlug] Fedora Core 6 kernel source???

[Chuck Anderson]

I'm sorry we were unable to help you get the official built-in Fedora 
Core driver for your sound card working.  Note that since you have 
opted for a non-Fedora Core provided driver, you will now have to 
install a new third-party alsa-kmdl package from the ATrpms repository 
everytime a new Fedora Core kernel update is released.

ALSA is a part of every Fedora Core release.  It isn't packaged 
separately--it is part of the standard Fedora Core kernel package.  It 
should "Just Work".  Since it didn't just work, would you mind helping 
us out to figure out why?

Standard Fedora sound driver for your sound card (two kernel versions 
shown here):
