reportedly this should have been fixed for orinoco_cs, but i'm still seeing it with both my cards. whenever i try to shutdown pcmcia, thus rmmod the respective network device modules, i get this message looping.

i think my pcmcia shutdown does manage to kind of give up on it and continue most the time and shutdown, but this really does not lend well to hotswapping these devices since they essentially can't be reinserted after eject. i've been seeing this problem for a while with previous 2.5 kernels. thanks.
