NO - this has nothing to do with old ISA pnp (isapnp and pnpdump
tools are not necessary either) - pnp_bios support is entirely
implemented in pcmcia_core.o. Unfortunately, the same
"pcmcia_core" module must be un/reloaded, so the higher level
(pcmcia) stuff gets aware of any configuration changes. See
my earlier message - it contains more information on the entire
subject.
