Passing parameters to the Kernel modules and setting the card to a particular
state are TWO DIFFERENT Things. 

Sometimes just using isapnp to configure the Cards state and loading the
required module without parameters works because certain Module inturn check
the card status if possible and work with it properly, But this is NOT ALWAYS
TRUE 

So DON'T IGNORE either of these steps. Both are generaly required.
