solved: there is a driver called pciehp if i modprobe it, it will automatically rescan the bus whenever a new pci-e device is inserted or removed.
in my case i had to insmod it with: modprobe pciehp pciehp_force=1 otherwise it complains that my hardware does not support hotplug which is funny as, an expresscard is a hotplug pci-e (or usb, depends on the card) ... and i have an expresscard slot ... cheers, erez.
