You should send the patch to the author of the driver, not us :)

/sbin/hotplug should get called when your card is removed, but the
current linux-hotplug package does not unload the driver. There are too
many potential race issues for it to do that right now. If you want the
driver unloaded, right now you have to do it by hand, or you can modify
the scripts to do it.
