Missing remove event

[Bill Moseley <moseley@hank.org>]

I installed Debian Sarge on a Toshiba 2805 laptop with 2.6.8-2-686 and
acpi=off.  This card loads the prism54 driver.

I get "add" pci events for my cardbus Netgear WG511v1 card.  But only
sometimes do I also get a "remove" event -- so if I remove the card I
have to reboot to get the card operational again.

The laptop was running Debian Sid in the past and I was able to remove
and add the wireless card without rebooting.

Can you offer any tips on how to track down why I'm not getting any
remove events?

Another curious thing is I see a remove firmware event right after the
add firmware event.

The card insert triggers the "add pci" event and loads the prism54 driver.
I assume that's what triggers the "add net" event for the card which
ifup's eth1.  The ifup triggers the "add firmware" event.  But soon after
that I also see a "remove firmware" event.

Why is there a remove firmware event?


Thanks,
