Hi all,

it would be very nice if you could help me with this ISDN-problem, that
bugs me for a pretty long time. After a couple of times of plugging in and
out a Fritz PCMCIA-ISDN-card (the number of times is not constant, usually
2 times) the smpppd doesn't start anymore and some kind of error occurs in
removing the hisax-module and the isdn-module. Later, when I switch off the
computer, it also fails in removing the pcmcia_core-module. When I open a
root-console and start the smpppd manually it works, but the error in
removing the modules still occurs.
My system is SUSE 9.2 with all available patches. I also tried a newer
kernel:2.6.11 (the Suse edition), but the problem remains.

Below I post the system-messages I receive, when plugging in and out the
ISDN-card.

Thank you very much in advance,
Matthaeus

Plugging in the ISDN-card for the first time (and it works):
