+    Note: The NM256 chip can be linked internally with non-AC97
+    codecs.  This driver supports only the AC97 codec, and won't work
+    with machines with other (most likely CS423x or OPL3SAx) chips,
+    even though the device is detected in lspci.  In such a case, try
+    other drivers, e.g. snd-cs4232 or snd-opl3sa2.  Some has ISA-PnP
+    but some doesn't have ISA PnP.  You'll need to speicfy isapnp=0
+    and proper hardware parameters in the case without ISA PnP.
+
+    Note: This driver is really crappy.  It's a porting from the
+    OSS driver, which is a result of black-magic reverse engineering.
+    The detection of codec will fail if the driver is loaded *after*

+    the module, but it may result in hang-up.   Hence, make sure that
+    you load this module *before* X if you encounter this kind of
