Can I rescan for new PCI devices? Or should hotplugging
Expresscards work?

I'm using an ExpressCard for wireless networking because there seems
to be no driver for the internal card in my laptop (and NDIS panics
the system). The Expresscard shows up as a PCI device and works fine,
except that it must be in the system at boot time to be recognized.
Judging by old posts I found on the topic, it appears that automated
hotplugging of PCI devices is probably still work in progress, but is
there a way to manually have the system rescan for PCI devices so I
don't have to reboot when I insert the network card?
I'm using 8.0 RELEASE amd64.
Thanks!
