you should know that OSS sound is a deprecated one.the real solution is to get the latest rpms of ALSA for Fedora 6.you can use yum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_dog_Updater%2C_Modified) if u have internet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_dog_Updater%2C_Modified#External_links
OR
download and install manually using "rpm -ivh foobar.rpm" command.
get the latest ALSA (http://alsa-project.org/)
rpms for fc6 @:
http://atrpms.net/dist/fc6/alsa-driver/
http://atrpms.net/dist/fc6/alsa-lib/
go to the page and download and install the latest alsa-driver,alsa-lib,libasound2 rpms
afterwards in a terminal as "su -"
run:
"alsaconf"
it may automatically detect ur card and configures all those /etc/modules things..

You should have Posted as something like "my soundcard not detected in FC6"
