[nflug] driver question

[anthonyriga]

How does linux load drivers on pcs for example the
sound drivers and reconizes them automatically and XP
Windows does not load the drivers at all causing the
user to find them. Are the drivers loaded in the linux
kernel? Im trying to explain this to a windows guy. He
says that since the soundcard was new on a new pc it
wouldnt be on the cd. I tested the pc using Knoppix
3.8 CD and it picked up the souncard fine using AC97
realtek driver. He is pure wondows fanboy. Any good
explanations?
