Not exactly what you want, but floppyfw http://zelow.no seems to do real well with old 
isa cards.  detects the chipset and finds those pesky irq and interrupts.  you would 
then have the numbers to put in dhcpd.conf.

~As part of the neverending drive to make LTSP available to the masses ;-) 
~we're looking for some magic to detect the NIC and video card in old PCs. 
~Now it's vital to examine the NIC and get the right image from rom-o-matic, 
~and put this on a floppy in order to get it on the network. This is scary for 
~an uninitiated teacher in a school that likes the idea of LTSP, but have little 
~technical experience.
~
~We have dabbled with some programs that claim to find ISA cards, but 
~have not had much success. So I wondered if anyone on this list has tried 
~to put together a floppy that will find the NIC and video card, report it to 
~screen or perhaps initialize the NIC and send it to the LTSP server to have 
~it automagically update the files involved there. Or have any ideas how this 
~should be done. Or even tell us that we are out of our minds to even 
~suggest it.
