Hi,

I'm having a quite odd problem with pcmcia cards:
When I plug in the card after booting, it works fine.
After removing it and plugging it in again, my system doesn't even notice that a card has been plugged in.
When I remove and plug in the card again, it works again - and so on.

When the card is not recoginzed, it also doesn't show up in lspci.

I'm using kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 with udev. and PCMCIA is controlled through hotplug.

uname -a:
Code:
Linux schlepptop 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jan 29 23:43:12 CET 2006 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

lspci for the pcmcia socket:
Code:
02:03.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ601/6912/711E0 CardBus/SmartCardBus Controller
        Subsystem: Uniwill Computer Corp Unknown device 3000
