In regards to this isa device stuff, I have an isa 56.6 us robotics modem
that doesn't seem to be detected. Linuxconf won't query it, kudzu won't
detect it, and kppp can't use it.
The weird thing is that Mandrake 7.0 detected it fine with Kudzu.
Any suggestions ...maybe disable plug 'n play in kernel?
