I'm experimenting with bootable CDs, working up hardware detection for
essentially any kind of system Linux supports. I recently stumbled onto a bug
(or perhaps "omission" is more accurate) in the pnp.rc script.
The problem is this: I found a system that uses an ISA pnp network card. The
pnp.rc script doesn't load a driver for it because the card's identifier
string (something like @@@5e90 -- I made up the numbers, but the beginning @
symbols are included in the card's id string).
The card includes a second, generic identifier string in the form PNP80d6.
This generic identifier does resolve to a valid driver module.
I'm putting together a modification of your pnp.rc script that uses the
generic identifier if the initial one doesn't turn up a driver. Would you
rather do this yourself?
Regards;
Jonathan
