In kernel 2.4.X, isapnp can be compiled into the kernel directly so that you don't really need the isapnp tools. In fact, if you examine /etc/init.d/isapnp you will see where it exits if there is /proc/isapnp. In order to set up isapnp under 2.4.X you cat the settings into /proc/isapnp. If you have the kernel documentation installed read isapnp.txt for more information. FWIW, heres the relevent part of my startup script to setup my isapnp modem: echo "Configuring 2.4 isapnp" cat > /proc/isapnp <<EOI card 0 RSS0262 dev 0 RSS0262 irq 0 9 port 0 0x3e8 activate EOI I got the card and device IDs from /etc/isapnp.conf and did a fair amount of experimentation before it worked out right.
