Public bug reported: Ever since I had this laptop, PCIe-based ExpressCards would not be automatically detected in out-of the box configuration. See bug 371434 for more details about this behaviour in older releases.
This report is collected from stock configuration. In the old bug, the problem could be worked around by passing "pciehp.pciehp_force=1" to the kernel in commandline, but even THAT seems to have stopped working (I'll test this right away). If that's the case, then there's no way to get the kernel to recognize a new card automatically. Fortunately, there's now a rescan file under /sys/class/pci_bus/.../, which can be used to rescan the bus manually. Not the best solution, but better than having to reboot.
