A method and apparatus for recognizing and initializing second level peripherals on busses local to add-on cards. During startup, a personal computer receives an identifier from an add-on peripheral. A driver is executed that initializes the add-on peripheral, and determines whether any peripherals are attached to a secondary bus associated with the add-on peripheral. When a peripheral is identified on the secondary bus, information concerning the peripheral is added to a configuration file.
