OK, fair enough.

I remember trying dev_info first and getting null from it. Retried, got
 (null): ISA P&P 16/4 Adapter/A (short) | 16/4 ISA-16 Adapter found

So it seems dev_info does not know about 16-bit pcmcia devices or 
buses... dev_driver_string() finds neither dev->name, dev->bus->name nor 
dev->class->name. Will dig into this some other day.
