True, however, I hope, with most modern bios you can disable PnP and
really on your favorite OS to init the PnP devices. Sujal Patel's
PnP patches can init your PnP device:

Thats an old version however in most cases it works.

Hopefully, with the on-going work in the multimedia group we will
make the use of PnP devices a very painless experience.
