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?
