Here is the blurb on the PnP code that I sent to -hackers a while back.. My computer is off the net until Sunday night, you can either wait 'till then and FTP the files from the address below or just send me mail and I'll E-Mail the whole thing to you. Sujal ------ Forward ----- I have working ISA PnP support for FreeBSD-- But I'm still working on various parts of the code (I guess I really should get someone to commit the code as it is, since it mostly works). The code works properly with all the PnP cards I've found so far (all 3 of them :) Here is a quick summary of what you need to do.. Sorry for the uglyness, but I'm working on complete auto-configuration of PnP devices (until then you'll need to do manual configuration, but it will work): Here is a manifest of what you'll find on ftp://xi.dorm.umd.edu/pub/pnp: autoconf.c.patch PATCH to src/sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c files.i386.patch PATCH to src/sys/i386/conf/files.i386 pnp.c place in src/sys/i386/isa pnp.h place in src/sys/i386/isa pnpinfo.tar.gz untar somewhere. You'll need to put "controller pnp" in your kernel config (but do not change any of the device entries to reference the controller pnp). You'll also need to edit pnp.c's configuration information (since it only supports manual configuration right now). The structure looks like: { 0x00008803, /* Serial Number */ -1, /* Logical Device Number */ { 15, -1 }, /* IRQ Number */ { -1, -1 }, /* DRQ Number */ { 0x3e8, /* Ports 1 */ -1, /* Ports 2 */ -1, /* Ports 3 */ -1, /* Ports 4 */ -1, /* Ports 5 */ -1, /* Ports 6 */ -1, /* Ports 7 */ } }, Just change the Serial Number, and other parameters to match what "pnpinfo" says about your device. If all goes well, it should say that it configured your device on boot up. You may need to fiddle with this a bit, since I those patches are against -current (and were created manually, not from my running kernel w/pnp). Lemme know how it goes or if you have any problems.
