Heh. I'm hoping that it would help to just change vcc_settle to 50 
instead?

No, I think it's mainly the card.

I certainly don't think it would be wrong to change it to a longer 
timeout. Although I also suspect that we should in that case try to exit 
early too, ie change it to something like

	for (i = 0; i < vcc_settle; i++) {
		msleep(10);
		skt->ops->get_status(skt, &status);
		if (status & SS_POWERON)
			break;
	}

or similar. But if changing it to 50 fixes it for you, that's probably a 
good minimal change for now.

No.

Although it's really a KERN_DEBUG(), so most people shouldn't even notice. 
I do wonder why somebody does pci_restore_state() when the card is 
ejected..

Oh. It's literally drivers/net/3c59x.c: vortex_remove_one(). So it's not 
the PCI or Cardbus layer, it's the driver itself doing odd things. I don't 
think it's worth worrying about. It's trying to restore the state and 
disable the device that was unplugged and no longer exists ;)

(Which can definitely be a useful thing if the remove_one is done because 
of some user-initiated driver removal. So I do understand why the driver 
has that code, it just doesn't make sense when the removal is due to the 
hardware itself going away).
