Why does my powerbook have a kernel panic when I re-insert my card?

This has been fixed in OS X 10.2!!!!! No more panics with card removal/re-insertion in 10.2. For OS X 10.1.5 and below, this is caused by a bug in Apples PCCard support. Do not re-insert a wireless card after you have removed it. It will crash everytime….Sorry. However, it is safe to put your powerbook to sleep, remove the card…travel to a new location, re-insert the card and then wake the system up.
