Michael's problem is drivers/net/tulip/de2104x.c and this problem is known since several months.
There are two possible solutions:
1. make the driver hot-pluggable 2. #ifdef the .remove away
Jeff Garzik doesn't want 1. until "someone actually tells me they are trying to hot-plug such a card" and he didn't apply the following patch to #ifdef the .remove away if the driver is compiled statically into the kernel:
--- drivers/net/tulip/de2104x.c.old 2002-08-30 01:06:09.000000000 +0200 +++ drivers/net/tulip/de2104x.c 2002-08-30 01:06:45.000000000 +0200 @@ -2216,7 +2216,9 @@ .name = DRV_NAME, .id_table = de_pci_tbl, .probe = de_init_one, +#ifdef MODULE .remove = de_remove_one, +#endif #ifdef CONFIG_PM .suspend = de_suspend, .resume = de_resume,
