Well, as I mentioned before, drivers routinely cache BAR and other 
configuration values.  So the PnP OS must either perform the appropriate setup 
prior to loading the driver, or provide some mechanism for the driver to keep 
abreast of what's happening.

The fact that the card in question is running Linux isn't really significant 
at all.
