Well, I've used different versions of 5.0 on my laptop, and my experience is that Cardbus devices don't like to be pulled out. Everytime I've done it the system has hung, so my assumption is: Patient: When I remove a 32bit card the system freezes. Doctor: Don't remove 32bit cards. About inserting it, well, I never had success with that either. The only way for it to work is to have the card already there *before* booting the system. I don't know if that's the expected behaviour or not, it works flawlessly with 16bit stuff. My hardware is a Thinkpad 300E, a 16bit ne2k clone and a RealJunk 8139 Cardbus NIC.
