I am using the lastest Debian. It doesn't auto detect my ISA Ethernet Card
(SMC EtherEZ 8416).

If I do the following,

# isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
# modconf then choose SMC ultra and enter io=0x240 irq=3
# pump to config dhcp

It works.

I want to setup a script, so the ethernet card gets auto setup during the
boot time.
"isapnp script" (in init.d) doesn't work because the linux kernel 2.4
supports pnp.
I even forced "isapnp script" to run during boot time, but cannot get it
work.
Please help me.
