pcmcia-cs should down the interface but it has to down the interface in
a non interrupt context. Either via the pcmcia daemon or a kernel thread.
Thats my guess as to what is going on

Basically when an interface is "down" the kernel ensures no references are
ever made to it unsafely. That means it can be unloaded

In 2.0 downing an interface from an interrupt kind of mostly worked. Thats
why Im guessing this is the actual problem
