One, to be precise. I've adjusted the manual page.

I've filled in information on this. Thanks.

If it's not there, then Linux doesn't know the vendor ID. Fortunately it
usually doesn't matter; the product info should be enough for users, and
PCMCIA interfaces tend to be generic enough that Linux can often drive
them without knowing exact manufacturer information. The manfid is
mainly useful when submitting bug reports, in which case you'd want to
just give the hex ID anyway.

Please file separate bug reports for separate problems in future.
