All,
As you can see, I get little time to attend to maintenance chores on the
de4x5 driver. If there are particular problems that you want sorted out
please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

That may have been back in the legacy days. Ejecting ne2k should be ok
as long as you are using ne2k-pci or pcnet_cs. Eject serial looks like

This issue is not that issue. It is separate issue and in fact
it is private problem of driver and its author, what is safe,
what is not safe.

That issue, which was meant here, it is 100% safe.
I start to suspect you did not look into this code since 2.2.

in other drivers big changes happened. 8)

I fell a bit behind during the test10-pre* series, and didn't have a
