Very standard setup.  I believe the most ES18xxx series are PCI cards,
but I'd do some checking to find out.  Firstly, run 'lspci'.  You
may see your hardware there.  If your card is ISA, then configure it
with 'pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.dump'.  Edit the isapnp.dump file and move
it to /etc/isapnp.conf.  Run 'isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf' to activate
your ISA PNP card.  Then insert your module.  Make sure you've run
'depmod -a' at some point so that your kernel knows where to find all
the modules.  Then run 'modprobe -a sb' for your sound card.  

And remember, you may not actually be using the 'sb' module.  Make
sure you read the kernel documentation regarding the sound modules,
especially where ESS is concerned.
