I have another question related to the newly updated Token Ring
driver: Tradtionally it was never possible to just pull the Token Ring
PCMCIA card. Whenever I tried this before, the ./network stop script
completely hung waiting for an 'ifconfig tr0 down' command. On the other
hand, manually calling 'ifconfig tr0 down' mostly worked and after
successful execution of that command it as always possible to just pull
the card.

With this new driver, is hot-pulling of the card now supported? Doing so
with Ethernet cards just works fine.
