Linux-2.5.57 deletes the definition of isapnp_card_protocol
and then adds some references to it. So, the kernel does not link
if you have enabled ISA PnP support. I'm not sure whether
isapnp_card_protocol is supposed to be removed or not.

That's the fault of some random driver that hasn't been updated to the
new isapnp API yet...

Hello.
It's not right.
It's wrong changes in drivers/pnp/isapnp/core.c and could be fixed with
changing of two lines:
drop
protocol_for_each_card(&isapnp_card_protocol,card)
and change
protocol_for_each_card(&isapnp_card_protocol,card)
back to
protocol_for_each_card(&isapnp_protocol,card)
This changes fix compilation problems, but may be it wrong do it in this
way.
Best regards.
Ruslan.

A random driver like linux-2.5.57/drivers/isapnp/core.c, line
1128, which was changed _from_ referencing isapnp_protocol _to_
referencing isapnp_card_protocol? Also, if isapnp_card_protocol is
supposed to be deleted, then presumably so should its extern
declaration at line 106 of the same file.
Come to think of it, core.c is the only file that references
isapnp_card_protocol in 2.5.57. _If_ isapnp_card_protocol really
should be deleted, then here is a patch for it.

Hi Ruslan,
This is indeed a correct fix for this problem. This bug was not introduced
by me but I appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Adam
