I took another XG601 Mini-PCI card, and put it into Soekris. After I
booted and initiated "ifconfig eth2 x.x.x.x", I did get again
remove_proc_entry/de_put messages, but the card works now. Seems like
firmware was uploaded okay.

So, the first card I tried was definitelly broken, and the second card
seems to work (well, I've just tried to associate and put it in AP mode -
nothing more).

So, in case someone experiences the same thing...

However, I still wonder if anyone knows what those
remove_proc_entry/de_put messages mean, and what/who triggers them?

Thanks.
