Has anyone got the Aptiva MWave card working with linux?
We has tried initializing the card from dos, and then using Loadlin
to boot linux but the modem could not be detected.  Is this a
plug-and-play issue?

Currently we are using linux 1.2.1, do newer kernels support
the mwave?

Thanks

The most you can hope to do at the present time is use the Mwave as a
sound blaster.  The way to do this is compile sound blaster support into
the kernel and boot into dos like you did before and use the "*"
settings of the Mwave then starting Linux.  I have heard you get pretty
good sound blaster support this way, but I have never tried it myself.

I was going to, but the DDK kit costs around $295.. That's a little prohibitive for me.

I'm going to try the "boot dos and load drivers" idea.  it may work..
