[tulip] the question about hotplug in tulip driver(not buildtin kernel 2.4)

[Ming Chuan Huang]

Dear Becker,
    I think I may misconfigure hotplug. I use RH 7.3 with default kernel
version 2.4.18-3 and I use ADMtek 985 cardbus. I modify the file located at
/lib/module/2.4.18-3/modules.pcimap  and added support to my card.It works
when I insert my card(It loads the tulip dirver I made,I sure)  and  driver
does not unload (type lsmod to check) when I remove the card. The timer is
alive(I add some debug message). I reinsert the card, but it will never work
until I rmmod driver.
I compile the driver without option CARDBUS . Is anything wrong???

Best Regards,
Jeffrey
