If your board has support then you can just not include the FreeBSD PnP code, and you're fine. Or you could just include it and have the FreeBSD PnP code re-config your PnP devices to your specifications. The major point of this is to allow standard ISA motherboards (like mine and Amanico's) to use PnP peripherals. All of the grunt work of handling PnP devices at the hardware level is done-- Amancio and I have been testing the isolation, detecting, and resource information parts of the code for a week now.. The configuration code is written, but waiting to be slowly integrated into my source tree. The problem now is to not worry about the PnP specification and all of it's horror (PnP must be Intel's little mutant cousin[tm] which they locked in the basement)-- The problem is to neatly fold all of this into FreeBSD.
