yeah, i think this is the root cause of the problem. if the card has
been found, you can use hdsploader to re-upload the firmware iirc, but
unless you see it in lspci, there's nothing you could do.
i have the same issue with an expresscard ieee1394 adaptor - it will
only work when it's inserted before booting.
Whenever my kernels were responsible for
uploading the firmware, they
did whenever the card was inserted.
Did you try 'pccardctl eject; pccardctl insert'?
No, and I can't try it now since I don't have the machine
here ATM. But I will.
Don't know if hdsploader can be used to force
an upload.
I don't use hdsploader at all, and AFAIK even don't have it
installed. The driver will load the firmware, in any. And
I don't think it's a matter of firmware uploading. IIRC
(but I could be wrong), the cards doesn't even appear in
lspci if inserted after booting.
