Orinoco_cs module won't unload in 2.5.70

Orinoco_cs module won't unload in 2.5.70

[Gregory Maxwell]

Kernel 2.5.70 (and 2.5.69-mm8 before it) on my Dell Latitude C840 is
unable to unload the orinoco_cs driver.

I get the following message over and over again while the rmmod hangs:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1 to become free. Usage count = 1

Even after ifconfig downing the interface..

This is quite annoying because the driver doesn't survive suspend and I
can't cleanly shutdown. :)

Suggestions?

Nothing useful.  I've got this problem in a 2.5.65 kernel also.  Really is
annoyying since the machine will not soft reboot because it thinks that
device is still in use.  I have to physically power it off every time I 
want to reboot it change any major pcmcia settings

Yes, it's a driver bug - one of a number that I've fixed recently.
I'll retransmit the patch to Linus today.
