I never liked the unknown driver. I vote we kill it and let
isa_probe_nomatch() deal with things. (I'll have to write
isa_probe_nomatch() but I don't see that as a problem.)
I'll dig out my patches for that area and send you a copy.
We do need something when we use PNPBIOS because
I am trying to make kldloadable driver. But
none of functions are called when I kldload it.
Is this a bug or I am missing something essential?
Sources, dmesg, config and makefile (for module) are at

P.S. I am chasing for IBM Token Ring Adapter

You're missing something essential.
The return values for the DEVICE_PROBE method should be 0 or negative

THE PROBLEM is that tok_isa_probe is not called at all,
when driver kldloaded. Return value is irrelevant for this case.
Yea, I see what could be the problem. I'll get back to you.

You're missing something essential.
The return values for the DEVICE_PROBE method should be 0 or negative for
priority, or positive

Looking at the code in sys/kern/subr_bus.c I'm not sure how any drivers
are revoked by a higher priority match.
This is probably

Nikolai, your easy fix is to comment out the relevent module declaration
for the 'unknown' driver in isa_common.c.
Yes, this fix does the job, BUT
Comments for 'unknown' driver says '... for unknown pnp cards ...'.
Will my driver be called on computer _without_ any pnp card?

Does your driver have an identify method for non-PnP cards?

This patch doesn't (shouldn't) compile since it uses private

bus_private.h anywhere in your code - its strictly off limits to

Yea, I figured that out. My patch

This particular card can be "downgraded" to previous
