1. I have had a Plug and Play card here for a while now.
This does not make me an expert is just that I have done
some digging around and play a whole lot with my card.
The documents that Intel has at their Web site are good
enough to write Plug and Play services is just that they
hard to read.
2. You really want the code from intel in order to deploy
Plug and Play any time soon which by the way the CD does
not have. You want for the configuration manager....
3. The reason why Intel did not release the code is mostly because
at the time they did not want a zillion copies of the
Plug and Play Configuration manager floating around. At least
thats what the manager told me.
4. There is a linux plug and play project on the way. So one way or the
other we will have Plug and Plug services.
Enjoy,
Amancio
