.Nd support for embedded devices on the motherboard
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver enumerates embedded ISA devices on the motherboard whose BIOS
|
|
supports
|
|
.Dq "Plug and Play BIOS Specification" .
|
|
It assigns ISA bus resources (interrupt line, DMA channel, I/O ports,
|
|
and memory region) to each device and activates it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If it cannot assign necessary resources to a device without
|
|
causing conflict with other devices in the system,
|
|
the device will not be activated and will be unavailable
|
|
to programs.

|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was written by

.An Mike Smith .
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
There is no explicit way to disable individual embedded devices.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver will find all devices reported by the
|
|
.Dq "Plug and Play (PnP)"
|
|
BIOS and try to activate them all.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is no way to explicitly assign particular resource to a device.
|
|
The resource assignment is fully automatic and there is
|
|
no provision for manual override.
