ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for detecting adapter cards and associated resources in an information handling system is disclosed. Snoop levels for controlling execution of one or more snooper software modules which detect adapter cards and associated resources and for controlling allocation of resources to the snooper software modules are provided. Each snoop level allows for varying degrees of resource allocation. Snoop levels are selected in response to whether any adapter cards have been removed from or added to the computer system, thereby restricting the amount of snooping which occurs to limit the risk of resource conflicts.
