Ok, I've investigated and found that the source of the problem was a
trivial misconfiguration. In my pccard.conf I've assigned IRQ 9 to
modem, while forgot to add this IRQ into the list of available IRQs (I
had 3 5 10 11 13 15). For some reason, this setup was working during
at least past 1 year, which is obviously the reason why
misconfiguration wasn't detected earlier.
However, the quiestion remains, whether it is a good that behaviour is
different on second insertion. Digging into pccardd revealed that this
happens because after the first failure the daemon resets IRQ field in
the configuration structure to be 0, so that at the next insertion the
daemon allocates a first free IRQ available. Attached patch is
expected to make behaviour more consistent. Please let me know what do
you think.
