Well, it does work:

lspcmcia still does not list it, but lspci:

merkaba:~> lspci -tnnv | grep Sili

When I remove the card I get:

merkaba:~> lspci -nnv | grep -A 3 Sili=20
05:00.0 Mass storage controller [0180]: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3531=20

        !!! Unknown header type 7f
        Kernel driver in use: sata_sil24

So indeed hotplug does not seem to work. Anyway, I want to have it=20
permanently installed, so this will do for now.

Thanks,
