not *directly* but... push in the card (beep ... boop) cardctl eject (beep) when you're ready, cardctl insert (beep beep) I usually carry the card plugged in, but hop between 3 or 4 nets a lot and sometimes others, many behind firewalls. (Thus my sig.) WHat gets me is when I forget to issue the eject command and there's no net around then startx hates me (because the yutzy little script wants to reverse resolve my hostname, or something).
