Umm...I'm pretty intimate with the subject :-)

For quick-and-dirty, I-need-PnP-now problems, there is Peter Fox's
isapnptools package (see the PnP web pages). It works great, but
is a pain to configure (definitely NOT simply Plug-and-Play).
This is _ONLY_ for ISA-PnP devices.

The really-fancy-with-all-the-bells-and-whistles kernel driver is
still not yet complete (I've just finished the core support, as
well as ISA-PnP device support). New kernel revisions slow me up too,
since the required new code touches every driver. The weather has been
too nice lately to be inside hacking too.

Don't expect to see anything until the v2.1.* kernels get rolling.
(Unless you want to do some development hacking - you can get patches
from the PnP web pages.)
