On going problem.

["Kris" <krisp1@mlode.com>]

I have a ThinkPad 600E and am trying to setup pnp so I can turn off the IR
port and turn on com1 with out having to load into a dos/windows partition.
In the past I was given the following info and have done this but when I
type lspnp I get lspnp: /proc/bus/pnp not available

I am not sure what I have missed but it seems that PNP is still not
installed yet I have installed pcmcia-cs with pnp enabled so I am not sure
what I have missed.

Thanks Kris
