Meantime I am redoing the kernel interface to the drivers to allow a much better disconnect and reconnect scheme. The benefit of doing this under PCMCIA is that you can have a card manager that controls this, and the `schedule for disconnect' is someone removing a card. A paper about it is on dmssyd.syd.dms.csiro.au under /pri/mcrae It is a little light on details, but gives the general direction I am going.
