  Oversimplified, Plug-and-Play automatically tells the software (device
  drivers) where to find various pieces of hardware (devices) such as
  modems, network cards, sound cards, etc.  Plug-and-Play's task is to
  match up physical devices with the software (device drivers) that
  operates them and to establish channels of communication between each
  device and its driver.  In order to achieve this, PnP allocates the
  following "bus-resources" to both drivers and hardware: I/O addresses,
  IRQ's, DMA channels (ISA bus only), and memory regions. It's not the
  intent of this help to make you a Plug-and-Play guru. You can find
  more information about it in 'Plug-and-Play-HOWTO'.

  This module allows the visualization of all the isa Pnp devices found
  in your computer. Some data about this device as well as the serial
  number, the device description, the device description, the supplier
  identification and the status (validation results on these devices).
  You can select one of these devices either to verify or to change your
  configurations. It's also possible to validate the configurations of
  those or to return to standard one.

  When you select a new device another window will show up with several
  configuration items, as well as the present configuration of each one.

  When selecting [Accept] a validation for all the devices
  configurations will be done.  In case any error occur in any
  configuration of a certain device, the column 'Status' of this one
  will be marked with 'Failure'. If all the configurations for this
  device are  correct, the  'Status' will  be  marked  with 'OK'. The
  configuration  file

  When selecting the [Standard] button, a window will be showed asking
  if the user wants to revert the devices configuration to the standard.
  When selecting [Yes], the current configure file will be named
  '/etc/isapnp.conf.bkp' and  a new configuration file will be
  generated, updating the information which is showed on the screen.

  After accepting the configurations, a button [Register] will be
  presented. When it's selected, information about devices detection
  will be showed.

  When selecting [Exit], the module is finished. Note that the
  configuration changes will be effective only when the button [Accept]
  is selected.
