So what we really want is some mechanism to tell the kernel 'hey, you! don't use this ioport/irq whatever.' (or otherwise mark some resources as not being available to PnP devices.) > > Go for it.

I'm pretty close to a solution for the 'ie' driver and the 'ex' driver already shares the honor of not using implicit kernel settings to configure cards; if I have my way, very few boards will have user configurable settings. Driver specific workarounds aren't going to cut it so we'll have to figure out how to do the above at some point. -- | Matthew N.
