The good news: The two cheap (EUR 97 and EUR 35 ) adaptors I tested both =
work fine (on a SuSE 8.1 with Kernel 2.4.19).
Excellent!


The problem: On shutdown, more precise on shutdown of pcmcia (kernel-based),
even more precise on cardctl eject the systems hangs badly. ...

Does anyone know a more elegant solution then the manual rmmod?
Does using 2.4.19-pre11 with "install this on 2.4" patch listed at the
top of the http://www.linux-usb.org/usb2.html web page count?

The root cause is pcmcia/cardbus bugginess, since when you tell it
to do clean shutdowns it refuses, and does a "dirty" shutdown.  Your
workaround forces a clean shutdown ... which is what you told that
kernel pcmcia code to do when you said "cardctl eject", but clearly
it didn't do what you told it to do.

The patch teaches the EHCI driver how to deal better with a "dirty"
shutdown ... which of course it should handle, but in this case that
logic is just papering over a pcmcia/cardbus bug.
