I'm glad you mentioned that, I saw that in the docs last night and nearly forgot already.. could someone please explain _why_ on earth the SBLive wants to be non-PnP? This is an issue I've never really understood - Linux has PnP support for PnP cards, so should we set the BIOS to PnP or not? What's that real difference?
If someone could give this a broad, newbiezed explanation I'd like to figure this one out once and for all...
