The file to edit is a kernel config file; after editing it, you can build
a fresh kernel and boot with it.

For information about kernels, including building a custom kernel, see:

 http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/

...you will need kernel sources for this, which is also covered as the
first question of the FAQ that I am pointing you to.


If you are using NetBSD/i386 1.5, with the GENERIC kernel (the kernel that
normally gets installed when you do a standard instal of 1.5 on an i386
type of computer), guspnp support should already be enabled,
however.  (You didn't say which version of NetBSD you were using; I
assume that its NetBSD/i386, since you are dealing with ISA PNP stuff.  So
you probably already have this support in your kernel.)


Try running the following command:

 /sbin/dmesg | grep -i guspnp

...and see if guspnp comes up.  Or even just

 /sbin/dmesg | more

...to manuall browse the dmesg.  (dmesg replays various messages, mostly
seen when booting, which the kernel prints as it examines your
hardware.)  You can also direct the output to a file, and include the file
in email to the list, if you aren't sure whether your sound card is being
found:

 /sbin/dmesg >any-file-you-like

...then get the any-file-you-like file into an email, by hook or by crook.


If you are using a GENERIC 1.5 NetBSD/i386 kernel, and the card is
correctly installed, without any jumper settings that might make it
emulate some other card, then it should Just Work...

Have you tried just using the system sound interface, or is it possible
that it's already working and you just haven't tried to use it yet?
