You have to run the ISA PNP tools to get a formatted "dump" of the ROM
(on your card) that describes the card's capabilities.
You execute as root: pnpdump >/etc/isapnp.conf
When the program completes the /etc/isapnp.conf file contains a
formatted
output, prepared for use by the isapnp program, but at this time all
values
are commented. You only have to uncomment ONE and only one set, of your
own choosing, so as to avoid conflicting with other hardware in your
machine.
Note: if you have other PNP cards in your machine, you will get entries
for these other boards, too (and should configure them as well) in the
/etc/isapnp.conf file.
You can always refer to the man pages: man isapnp or man isapnp.conf
Good luck !
