PCI pnp is done automagically. ISA may or may not be. If it does not appear that it is getting the proper IRQ and what not there is a package called isapnp. This is what you use to set up pnp modems, sound cards. etc. It has a program called pnpdump which is run as 'pnpdump > /tmp/pnp'. The file pnp is a config file you then edit to turn on irq's -- reading the file should explain it. You then copy the file to /etc/isapnp.conf (after backing up the old one).
