NAME
isapnp
- introduction to ISA Plug-and-Play support
SYNOPSIS
isapnp0 at isa?
An
isapnp
bus can be configured for each supported ISA bus.
DESCRIPTION
NetBSD
provides machine-independent bus support and
drivers for ISA Plug-and-Play (isapnp) autoconfiguration of
PnP-compatible
devices on an ISA bus.
SUPPORTED DEVICES
NetBSD
includes machine-independent ISAPNP drivers, sorted by function
and driver name:
SCSI interfaces
- aha
-
Adaptec AHA-154[02]
SCSI
interfaces.
- aic
-
Adaptec AHA-1520B
SCSI
interfaces.
Disk controllers
- wdc
-
Standard IDE and ATAPI drive controller.
Serial and parallel interfaces
- com
-
8250/16450/16550-compatible ISA PnP serial cards and internal modems.
Network interfaces
- an
-
Aironet
4500/4800 and
Cisco
340 series 802.11 interfaces.
- ep
-
3Com 3c509B EtherLink III
Ethernet
interface.
- le
-
PCnet-PnP
Ethernet
interfaces based on the successor to the AMD LANCE chip.
- ne
-
NE2000-compatible
Ethernet
interfaces.
- tr
-
TROPIC based token ring interfaces.
Sound cards
- ess
-
ESS Technology derived PnP sound cards and devices.
- guspnp
-
Gravis Ultrasound PnP sound cards.
- sb
-
SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster 16, and SoundBlaster Pro sound cards.
- wss
-
Windows Sound System compatible cards, e.g., most of the cards
with Crystal Semiconductor chips.
- ym
-
Yamaha OPL3-SAx sound cards.
Miscellaneous devices
- pcic
-
PCI
PCMCIA
controllers, including the Cirrus Logic GD6729.
ISA Plug-and-Play devices also have alternate ISA drivers with
static ISA IO address configuration.
These are listed in
isa(4).
The
isapnp
bus ignores devices that have already been found and configured as
isa(4)
devices.
The
isapnp
bus is only effective on machines which lack a PnP BIOS, or on
which the PnP BIOS has been disabled.
The manual pages for each individual
isapnp
driver also list
the supported front-ends for other buses.
