For some reason my laptop has been doing the same thing. Here is a simple
work around to the problem, for now.
1) insert pcmcia card and do what ever you are going to do
2) before removeing the card issue the following command
cardctl eject (that will eject all of the card slots)
3) now physicaly remove the card, no lock ups ;-)
