PnP is _really_ broken.
Let me amend that. The idea to do this at all is totally bogus -- switc=
h to
a decent bus (like PCI) instead !!!
That being said, the actual PnP hardware implementation seems to work
rather well. What does _not_ seem to work, from what I hear, is the way
most PnP-aware BIOSes handle the stuff.
