If you have a pnp-compliant bios, and you're happy with the card's
configuration, you don't need isapnptools. isapnp is for initialising the card
& setting one of its configuration. But if your bios does that on startup, you
can just pass the io,irq and dma to the sb module, and sb will recognize the
card.
