Yep, that's what it sounds like to me too. I know my own laptop w/an 
expresscard slot requires having the pciehp driver loaded (which doesn't 
happen automatically in many kernels) before cards properly hotplug. The card 
itself should be no different than the pcie jmicron cards I've got, which work 
fine (at least w/the newer stack, not sure I've tried them w/the old one).
