The script that you attached has no equivalent of my 
simplify_isapnpmap_line() function and will thus fail if the line in 
modules.isapnpmap contains multiple vendor/function pairs and the second 
one (not the first one) matches

The line in modules.isapnpmap is:
# module cardvendor carddevice driver_data vendor function [vendor2 function2] ...
                                           \--------"the rest"-------------------/

The simplify_isapnpmap_line() function expects the $module,
$cardvendor and $carddevice variables to be set, driver_data
ignored, and "the rest" to be the arguments. It outputs
lines of the following form:

# module cardvendor carddevice vendor function
# module cardvendor carddevice vendor2 function2

to match against.

Or do you just ignore the "vendor" and "function" fields? This is
dangerous, since there are lines with 0xffff as both carddevice
and cardvendor.

Also, your script outputs:

/proc/bus/pnp/ or /proc/bus/isapnp/ not found, Is it enabled in your kernel?

if the support is compiled into the kernel, but there are no isapnp devices
in the system.
