    http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/atmel/atmel_firmware.tar.gz


    That is the source just compile it......

    *open terminal
    *Type su and enter password
    *Type tar zxvf atmel_firmware.tar.gz
    *cd to that directory
    *./configure
    *make
    *make install

    Hopefully the build tools come default(I don't know about Mandriva)

    yeah, 'cat /etc/modprobe.conf', then try 'modinfo soundcore'
    and 'lspci | grep usb'

    ..just trying to see if any usb stuff is loaded...
    i'm logging off soon, but will check my mails for a while..

    Type tar zxvf then drag the file onto the terminal and it will already create a path
