    Probably not.

    After you ran "make oldconfig" ?


    I don't know much about ARM configs. You should probably be asking
    about this on some linux-arm mailing list.

    However, I did
    make ARCH=arm s3c2410_defconfig
    and that particular board config enables ISA. Then if I enabled
    NET_PCI, I can also enable CS89x0.

    The default ARM config (if there is one) doesn't seem to enable ISA.
