I agree. I have been having problems with isapnp reliably finding my
ALS100 since

Alan,
You've mentioned this before. I emailed Steve directly since I had the
same sort of problem with a trio of ethernet cards. Hardware detection
goes wacky when mixing isapnp userspace tools with the CONFIG_ISAPNP
support in the kernel. Steve told me: "I'm running debian sid, with

I think the problem here thought isnt the 3c509 and SB
Perhaps it's cold comfort, but I found long ago that
3c509 and SB don't mix too well, at least in Linux.
ISA devices are somewhat dumb, switching one
of the cards for a PCI version does the trick here.
SB128, SBlive work fine, or you might want to go
to a 10/100 pci ethernet card.
Just my $.02
The evidence really speaks for itself:
firstly, I have been running a 2.2.18 kernel system, with a 3c509b and a
soundblaster 16 (and sundry other hardware).
The soundblaster 16 is on 0x220, irq 5. Its a soundblaster 16 (vibra 16b, '94)
The 3c509 is pnp and detects under 2.2.18 as the
