| config PNP |
| bool "Plug and Play support" |
| ---help--- |
| Plug and Play (PnP) is a standard for peripherals which allows those |
| peripherals to be configured by software, e.g. assign IRQ's or other |
| parameters. No jumpers on the cards are needed, instead the values |
| are provided to the cards from the BIOS, from the operating system, |
| or using a user-space utility. |
| |
| Say Y here if you would like Linux to configure your Plug and Play |
| devices. You should then also say Y to all of the protocols below. |
| Alternatively, you can say N here and configure your PnP devices |
| using user space utilities such as the isapnptools package. |
| |
| If unsure, say Y. |
| |
| config PNP_NAMES |
| bool "Plug and Play device name database" |
| depends on PNP |
| help |
| Select Y if you want the Plug and Play Layer to keep a database of |
| human readable names for your PnP devices. It will increase the size |
| of the kernel image by around 5 KB and use 16 KB of system memory. |
| |
| If unsure, say Y. |
| |
| config PNP_DEBUG |
| bool "PnP Debug Messages" |
| depends on PNP |
| help |
| Say Y if you want the Plug and Play Layer to print debug messages. |
| This is useful if you are developing a PnP driver or troubleshooting. |

| config ISAPNP |
| bool "ISA Plug and Play support (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on PNP && EXPERIMENTAL |
| help |
| Say Y here if you would like support for ISA Plug and Play devices. |
| Some information is in <file:Documentation/isapnp.txt>. |
| |
| If unsure, say Y. |
| |
| config PNPBIOS |
| bool "Plug and Play BIOS support (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on PNP && EXPERIMENTAL |
| ---help--- |
| Linux uses the PNPBIOS as defined in "Plug and Play BIOS |
| Specification Version 1.0A May 5, 1994" to autodetect built-in |
| mainboard resources (e.g. parallel port resources). |
| |
| Some features (e.g. event notification, docking station information, |
| ISAPNP services) are not used. |
| |
| Note: ACPI is expected to supersede PNPBIOS some day, currently it |
| co-exists nicely. |
| |
| See latest pcmcia-cs (stand-alone package) for a nice "lspnp" tools, |
| or have a look at /proc/bus/pnp. |
| |
| If unsure, say Y. |
