Surely if you're in manual, you decide what the iso is.

Look at button marked iso, bottom left of camera back.

In menu option you can switch off auto ISO. I think I couldn't switch off auto iso using the iso button on the back of my D90. In menu if I remember right it's the second option from top and then 4th or 5th down which says iso, when you select this the top option is choosing your iso setting and next one says on or off- you choose off
Just checked it's in shooting menu then 6th option down ISo sensitivity settings. See page 166 of user manual

You can use auto iso in manual mode like any other mode. Basically, you set your aperture and shutter speed and the camera sorts the iso to try to obtain correct exposure. Very useful in some circumstances but very annoying in others.

You can adjust iso by holding down the iso button on the back and twizzling the rear dial. You just can't select auto iso without delving into the menu.

I have auto iso as one of the options in the quick menu which I can access with one button press.

I have my D90 set to Show ISO/Easy ISO. (Custom setting menu d3 ISO diplay and adjustment.) If I am in (A)perture or (S)hutter priority modes, one dial (front or rear) controls shutter or aperture depending on mode and the other controls ISO without having to push any buttons. ISO value is displayed in the top LED as well.

In (M)anual mode I still have to press the ISO button to change ISO.

Same on the D7000. Beware though, it seems that changing the iso manually with easy iso overrides the auto iso, at least it seems to on mine. Meaning you will continue shooting at whatever iso you selected until you change it manually.

On the D90, with auto ISO, it will use the ISO that you select manually as the lowest ISO.

For example, if you have selected ISO 800 as your maximum in auto ISO setup, and then you select ISO 400 manually, the camera will use the range between ISO 400-800 to maintain the minimum shutter speed you have selected in auto ISO setup.
