Not sure if this is where I should post this...but it seems right

I am just trying knoppix out on a home PC. I could not get the Network card or Sound card to work.
My network card:3Com Gigabit LOM (3c940
My sound card: Standard SoundMAX digital audio driver

Both of the cards are built in so I cant just change them out. Is there any way I can get them to work with Knoppix?
