You are right about that. Since I didn't have any ISA cards before I
didn't have a /etc/isapnp.conf until I created it. So the rc.sysinit
script didn't have the isapnp.conf script to feed iaspnp.

This part didn't work. I still had to run modprobe at the root CLI
prompt to get the card to tune to my favorite FM station. No big
deal. I can put it in rc.local, I have already stuck a few things in
there for my IDE CD-R.
I couldn't find any information on /etc/conf.modules. Do you have any
recommendations on a good book for Linux or Unix System
Administration? I found "A Practical Guide to Linux" by Mark Sobell
to be good for using Linux but it is a light on the Administration
side.
Thanks,
