This is indeed how the PnP driver is evolving (but it's more generic then just one card). The only problem will be that people without any PnP bios support, will have to specify *all* of the parameters that a PnP devices needs (this can become quite ugly for the user, especially if all they have a a config line in the kernel config). It would be nice to have an easy configuration utility wouldn't it? Volunteers? :-) > Since we are discussing PnP and thats good 8) what about support > for USB devices??
