I have enabled your wrapper and here is what I see when I insert and=20
then remove my PCMCIA GPRS card with the pcmcia-cs package installed:

module
parameters
module
drivers
tty
tty
tty
tty
drivers
module
parameters
module

When pcmcia-cs is NOT installed nothing shows up in hotplug logfile.

Thank you,
