I was just enlightened to the beauty of that which is the /proc, to the wealth
of information contained therein. ;0)
Seriously, I'm wondering how the /proc information gets in there. Does it get
re-wrote upon every reboot? Does isapnp use that information to configure
devices? Does linuxconf screw it up? ;0) If so, what is the best way to clean it
up?
The reason I ask is that I've been having fun lately getting an ISA PnP NIC and
my ISA Pnp AWE64 and my PCI PnP NIC to all play nice together (the kernel
doesn't seem to mind that I have PnP OS turned on in my BIOS either, which is
cool.). Now I'm not looking for solutions on the exact process to do this
because that's half the fun messing with it, but rather just how the information
on IRQs and I/O addresses and etc gets shared.
Thanks!
