This is shown by > 'pnpinfo'. pnpinfo doesn't have anything to do with what the kernel thinks. It's a userland program that manually resets and reconfigures the cards.. This is an absolute disaster if you happened to be using the hardware, eg: the sound driver. After running pnpinfo, the hardware essentially "disappears". pciconf(8) does it properly, it asks the kernel via /dev/pci. pnpinfo uses /dev/io to bash on the ports directly.
