ISA Plug & Play cards can be configured with the program  isapnp.  This program gets the required configurations from the configuration file  /etc/isapnp.conf.

Every time you start Linux,  usually some initscript is looking for that file.

If that file exists,  the program  isapnp  is run.

This is done in RedHat Linux by the script  /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit  and in Corel and Debian Linux by the script  /etc/init.d/isapnp.

Therefore you only have to edit the configuration file  /etc/isapnp.conf.

If that file is missing,  you can make a new file at the shellprompt as follows:

pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf

Read the manual of  isapnp.conf  for an explanation of the format of that file.

In fact,  you have to look for the desired configurations in  /etc/isapnp.conf  and then activate them by removing the comment character  "#"  preceding those configurations.
