+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pnp
+.Nd support for
+.Dq "Plug and Play"
+(PnP) ISA devices
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver enumerates ISA devices which support
+.Dq "Plug and Play ISA Specification"
+in the system.
+It assigns ISA bus resources (interrupt line, DMA channel, I/O ports,
+and memory region) to each device and activates it.
+.Pp
+If it cannot assign necessary resources to a PnP ISA device without
+causing conflict with other devices in the system,
+the device will not be activated and will be unavailable
+to programs.
+.Sh CAVEATS
+It is not possible to disable individual PnP ISA devices.
+The
+.Nm
+driver will find all devices conforming the PnP ISA specification
+and try to activate them all.
+.Pp
+There is no way to explicitly assign particular resource to
+the PnP ISA device.
+The resource assignment is fully automatic and there is
+no provision for manual override.
