Chuck, with regards to the CSN (I think you meant this instead of DSN ???) and
LDN you can get these with the command pnpinfo(8)
This should give you rather a verbose dumping (in my case for my sound card)
of the pnp card's information. It will also give you the
CSN - Card Select Number and the LDN - Logical Device number.
E.g. my pnpinfo looks like:
# pnpinfo
Checking for Plug-n-Play devices...
Card assigned CSN #1
Vendor ID CSCf032 (0x32f0630e), Serial Number 0xffffffff
PnP Version 1.0, Vendor Version 1
Device Description: SIC CrystalWave 32
Logical Device ID: CSC0000 0x0000630e #0
Device Description: WSS/SB
TAG Start DF
Good Configuration
DMA: channel(s) 1
8-bit, not a bus master, count by byte, , Type A
DMA: channel(s) 0 3
8-bit, not a bus master, count by byte, , Type A
IRQ: 5 - only one type (true/edge)
I/O Range 0x534 .. 0x534, alignment 0x4, len 0x4
[16-bit addr]
I/O Range 0x388 .. 0x388, alignment 0x8, len 0x4
[16-bit addr]
I/O Range 0x220 .. 0x220, alignment 0x20, len 0x10
[16-bit addr]
-- SNIP ---
So my since
"Card assigned CSN #1" and "Logical Device ID: CSC0000 0x0000630e #0"
^^ ^^
I threw the following in my pnp config line:
pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x534 port 0x220 irq 5 drq0 1 drq1 3
And that seems to work. Hope that helps.
