The "expected" place for this kind of extended info is the
device_module table (which we haven't taken enough advantage of).  For
some reason, store_modules() doesn't use e_port() to get this mapping,
but I think if it just calls e_port() and stores that in the table
that's sufficient information.

Do your devices have this extended info in the ENTITY-MIB, and can I
convince you to move in this direction?

Thanks,
