When you remove a 3c59x-based cardbus, the fonction vortex_remove_one is called and this function end with kfree(dev). I was looking why enable_wol loose its value after a remove/insert cycle but this value is store in the private part of dev so it's free with dev. The driver is not unloaded during the remove/insert cycle so it's a kernel space problem. Have I missed something here ?
