It looks like pcmica modular ether (example orinoco) can never be manually unloaded because module refcount is always 1. This comes from the owner field in the pcmcia_driver.owner being set. One fix is to not set owner field but then there is a hot plug/module remove race. But the right fix seems to fix up pcmcia to be a true bus in the driver model and have the same hotplug as other buses; usb and pci don't have the problem. |
