In certain network configurations, when an installable [for example, Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA)] network card is removed, the driver may remain loaded. This prevents other PCMCIA drivers from being loaded, and a warm reset of the device is required before the PCMCIA slot is accessible.
