Description Vallo Kallaste 2001-02-14 08:10:01 UTC 
	4.2-STABLE does not recognize PCNet-ISA+ cards I have. The problem is
	present for long now, since 4-current days. The problem appeared after
	PNPBIOS hit the 4-current tree, as I recall. Accordingly to
	options.i386 file, the PNPBIOS is supposed to be optional, but it's
	not because certain header is hard-coded into /sys/i386/i386/bios.c
	file. However, I don't know the reasoning and this can be even normal,
	but then option PNPBIOS does not make sense.

Fix: 

Not known.
	For workaround some mods are required:
	Remove following two lines from /sys/conf/files

	isa/pnp.c               optional isa
	isa/pnpparse.c          optional isa

	Remove following hardcoded #include from /sys/i386/i386/bios.c

	#include "opt_pnp.h"
How-To-Repeat: 
	Take an older, ISA-bus only 486-class machine which does not have PnP
	BIOS. Configure PCNet-ISA+ card as non-PnP, assign I/O, IRQ and DRQ.
	Boot appropriately configured kernel.

Is this still a problem with 4.6 or -stable?

Hi

For some reason I didn't get email when the PR got closed, probably
because my previous employer has shut down the old email account.
This bug is still present in 4.7-STABLE as I discovered yesterday
when updating from the old 4.2-STABLE. The same workaround applies.
I'll test with 4.8-RELEASE soon.
