Yep, that's how I've had to use it. Get the isapnptools package and
run "pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf". Then go into isapnp.conf and uncomment
the lines specifying the configuration settings that you want. It is
a little confusing, so I've included the uncommented portion of my file
below. After that run isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf. It should give you some
sort of affirmative message.
