Hi,

The only possible solution I saw is to build a modprobe alias file, that
for each isapnp device will give the driver name.

No, the correct solution would be for the kernel to provide a proper
$MODALIAS variable and for the modules to provide proper aliases.
Does the kernel provide $MODALIAS for these modules even if there aren't hotplugable (I don't know how udev does couldplug)?
Where it is done ?

The modules have the correct aliases : they can't have simple pnp alias as lot's of board have the same device pnp id and we need a card pnp id to choose the right driver.


What you propose is too much ugly and complex to be implemented.
Why complex ?
I know that's ugly but at least it works.
Also the alias file isn't that big.
If you don't want to support isa card write it somewhere in the README and may be in package description.
