This is the output when I run 'cardctl eject 1'
And written by hand cause it freeze :-/

---------->Here everything freeze and I have to turn off the laptop
Probably after the "cardmgr[581]: executing: './network stop eth0'" the
ttyS3 suppose to shut down but freezes before and can't do any output.

The output when I boot without the card and then insert it:

Everything worked fine, network access and everything.

And then I run 'cardctl eject 1'

No change for shutdown if I boot with the card or not.
