Isapnp isn't involved in these type of cards, is it? I've read some networking, and cable and dsl howtos, and they say there needs to be no plug and play, or disable plug and play with the utils that come with the card, then just modprobe it to make it work. Most modules just make you modprobe 3c59x.o, and ifconfigging which is relatively easy, although playing with ifconfig on a dialup doesn't do much more than mess things up.
