Explains resources used in Plug-and-Play (PnP) such as addresses,
interrupts, etc. Covers both the PCI bus (inherently PnP) and PnP on
the old ISA bus. If PnP did it's job right, you wouldn't need this
howto. Otherwise, this will both explain PnP and help you detect and
assign resources to hardware (low level configuring). It doesn't
cover what's called "Universal Plug and Play" (UPnP).
