hotswap Ethernet interface E100 and E1000

[michel.bouley-6ktuUTfB/bM]

I am working on Tiger with kernel 2.5.67.
The hotswap of the board e100 or e1000 (Ethernet Intel) does problem :
- selftest timeout with e100
- EEPROM checksum error with e1000.

the led of slot PCI is green, ifconfig on the device is OK, ping network
NOK.
Any ideas are welcome...
Thanks.

I don't think the Tiger is currently supported by any PCI Hotplug
drivers, unless you are using one that was posted a long time ago by
Intel.  Is that what you are using?

Also, all in-kernel PCI Hotplug drivers are broken and can't handle
adding a new device right now due to some PCI API changes that happened
a number of kernels ago.  I'm still working on the fix, but if anyone
else wants to beat me to it... :)

thanks,
