A somewhat offtopic question, does anyone know how to turn of PnP in a
Compaq Presario (5900T) bios? It is doing bad stuff to my ethernet

This is from my rather senile memory <g>. I don't have a Compaq here,
but I recall seeing something on this about a year ago....dunno if it
will help or not. As I recall, the wording of the appropriate Compaq
BIOS setting is quite different from that of AWARD BIOS, and can be
confusing.
Search throught the BIOS settings and see if there is one that
identifies the type of OS installed (M$ Windows, OS2, etc). There
should be a setting there for "Other". That is the one you want to use
with Linux kernels 2.2.X, and will let the BIOS do its own PNP stuff,
which is what you want it to do. If it thinks there is a PnP OS
installed it gets "lazy" and lets the OS handle things.
