For the rtl8019as, you probably need the ne2 module, and not the ne
module. You may have to specify the i/o and IRQ used by the card.
Detecting them automatically does not always work on ISA cards. I am
not sure about the sound card - you may need to install the ISA Plug
and Play tools. I do not think they are installed by default. Not
too many people are using ISA Plug and Play cards any more.

You may want to read the Plug and Play HOWTO.
