Send me the raw PNP resource data so I can look into this:

1) Search for the right two-digit PNP handle for device "0104d041":
   cat /proc/bus/pnb/devices
   01 0104d041 07:01:00 0080
   02 0105d041 07:00:02 0180
   03 1005d041 07:00:02 0180
   04 0007d041 01:02:00 0003
   ...

   The number in the first column (here: 01) is the handle
   to be used in step 2.

2) Send cat /proc/bus/pnp/01 | od -tx1
