Without pnp, I don't think you can enumerate the ISA bus. Hence I chose "isa:" in the hope that udev would "just work" if isapnp created the modalias under /sys/bus/isa...
But Kay says there's a pnp bus (who knew?). I don't know what he means by unfixable aliases tho, since it's all in the kernel source so we can change it at any time?
Thanks, Rusty.
