[ltp] Ejecting Cardbus pc cards

[Pablo Vera]

Hi everyone:

Is there a way to power down a Cardbus pc card before unplugging it ?, 
is it really necessary ?

I know that I can "eject" a pcmcia card with:

   pccardctl eject

but this utility does not "eject" a Cardbus card, since it is not 
pcmcia, but pci.

After doing lots of research, and founding nothing, I decided to simply 
pull out the card and see what happens.  Typing dmesg told me that the 
kernel recognized that I pulled the card and disabled interrupts.  I 
then plugged it in again, and it worked fine.  So I guess it is OK to 
hot-plug/unplug Cardbus cards.

Anyone knows if it is really OK to just pull the card ?, or do I need to 
run an utility to "eject" it ?
