It looks at least good. It means that the PCI Switch on the card works.

Did you also try to load the modules for the buz as I did describe, and 
look at the output of the kernel ? That would be more interesting.
Some commands like:
modprobe i2c-core
modprobe i2c-algo-bit
modprobe saa7111
modprobe saa7185
modprobe zr36060

You might need to replace the modprobe with insmod, and add .ko to the 
module name.
