how so? the 2.6 driver model is that drivers remain loaded and just get
reactivated if the device comes back....
I get oopses very easily when removing a CF card in a PCMCIA adapter
(also with latest FC2 kernel). And a machine crash after some time if I
remember correctly.
This makes accessing CF basically useless/impossible with FC2.
Thought this was well known or should I add it to bugzilla ?
