It doesn't just work. emu10k1 doesn't unload on eject, and when the card is put back in, it doesn't recognise the card is back. It needs to be manually unloaded and reloaded. pccardctl doesn't make much difference. And, yes, I've filed bugs! I can live with an extra process running to gain this functionality, but I'm in the minority here, so I'd understand if nothing came of it. >> A generic tray icon to deal with all the >> devices that need this functionality would be quite nice to have. > > Right.
