Personally, I think this would be really useful, and I agree asking users
to poke around sysfs can be difficult.  I'd like to see it as a
seperate utility from the original lspnp included in pcmcia-cs (which
should actually be called "lspnpbios") as it can be handy for a different
sort of testing.

Adam
