wireless works, but sound broke!

I just installed linux and i was excited because my sound card worked without having to go through the trouble of setting it up (i used linux right before mandrake came out).

well, my wireless didn't work. after reading a post here i found out how to set up wireless using ndiswrapper. upon editing modprobe.conf to add the wlan0 alias and setup info and rebooting my computer, the wireless worked... but the sound stopped. after removing the wlan0 info, the wireless stopped working and the sound started working.

if i attempt to start the soundcard manually using modprobe, about 5 minutes later I get an error like (im not in linux so i cant copy) 'Mutex destroyed: Device or resource busy'

any suggestions on how to get both to work?

ok i'm in linux now, so here is the problem.

$ cat /proc/interrupts

NMI:          0          0
LOC:     540334     540333
ERR:          0

and more (this is modprobe.conf):

 

alias eth0 8139too
alias wlan0 ndiswrapper
install ndiswrapper /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper && { loadndisdriver 1.1 14e4:4320 /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5.sys /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5.inf; }
alias sound-slot-0 snd-atiixp
remove snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-atiixp
install snd-atiixp /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-atiixp && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ohci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true
install ndiswrapper /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper && { loadndisdriver 1.1 14e4 4320 /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5.sys /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5.inf; }

 

With apic and lapic on i get an error @ boot when ALSA tries to kick in; when i disable via lilo.conf append line, it boots ok but still doesnt run. (plus with lapic and apic disabled, my computer runs REALLY REALLY slow.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. :D
