hot_plug problem of hostap driver

[zhangyanfeng]

I use a netgear MA401 802.11b card, and redhat linux (2.4.26). if I plug the card before system boot or after system boot plug the card at the first time, the card work perfectly, but after system boot, the card is taken out and then plug back, it will not work again. 

the output of dmesg is:

when card is removed:

hostap_cs: CS_EVENT_CARD_REMOVAL
wifi0: card already removed or not configured during shutdown
wifi0: Interrupt, but dev not OK
