Building a kernel has nothing to do with the currently running system.
For ISA cards (at least the Netgear EA211 card I have) require you to
specify the base IO address and the IRQ to use since there is no PnP
to figure it out for you (like PCI has). (Before someone corrects me,
I know there is PnP for ISA but from all I've read it doesn't really
work.)
