"Easy setup" is certainly a BIOS setup program.  SFAIK
it is the only one.

What do you all think of "Easy Setup".  I am sort of fond
of the little bird whose wings flap as I move the cursor.
However, the whole thing is just a bit too cute.  Out of
character for IBM.  Is IBM's laptop engineering center
located in East Asia, by any chance?

Easy Setup won't do what you want.  Use PS2.EXE or setpnp.  Use tpctl
to make sure that PS2.EXE and/or setpnp has done what you wanted.
