Seems it's not needed even for ISA cards, well my ISA PnP modem
anyway. Just out of curiosity I commented out the
controller pnp
line and rebuilt my kernel (yes, I did run config(8) with ``-r''),
rebooted and sure enough, as you said, it still found my SB PCI 128.
However, it *also* still found my modem.
Thinking that this was just the modem retaining it's config across a
soft reboot I powered down, waited a couple of minutes, then powered
up again. Still it found my modem.
Hmmm, beginning to doubt I'd done a ``config -r'' I checked the
compile directory; pnp.o was not there (it was before) but pnp.h was,
which suggests that there is some PnP code elsewhere in the kernel.
Any ideas, I'm cuious to get to the bottom of this.
