I want to check this is enabled and enable it if it isn't...can anyone point me to where to look in Debian potato to find out? It may be why my network card isn't working (D-Link DE-220P).
Thanks!

What are you trying to accomplish?
If you have an ISA PNP card that you need to work, you'll have to initialize it with isapnptools. Install the package of that name, read the documentation, run isapnpdump like it tells you, and set up the isapnp configuration file. Then, make sure isapnp runs every boottime, BEFORE you modprobe the driver for your device. If you've set up isapnp properly, when you modprobe the driver, everything should be good.
If you're trying to get a PCI PNP card to work, you don't need to use any special userspace programs. Make sure you have PNP support compiled into the kernel (you will, if you're using a stock kernel, otherwise recompile and check), then when you modprobe the driver for the device, everything should work.
