The code doesn't currently support multi-function devices.

That's because it's not in the database. :)

The database is in /etc/pccard.conf.  You must build an entry for it,
using the output of  'pccardc dumpcis'.  Use the other entries for
examples, and you should be able to build one.  If you get it working,
send it to me and I'll add it to the 'database'.  I suspect there is
probably some 'white-space' difference in what you've attempted and what
it expects.
