Add hardware later?



   Even the PNP model can be run in "Legacy ISA" mode by disabling PNP
with that utility.  IIRC there is also a batch file on the disk,
"pnpdsabl.bat" or something like that, that turns off the PNP switch
without running the full config GUI.

   I'm surprised that noone has mentioned just trying linuxconf (or 
just the netconf portion).  I've found that linuxconf does quite well for
setting up single interfaces, to the point of not having to edit anything
by hand.  For multiples of the same card I usually end up hand hacking
conf.modules to get them in the right order.
