Accessing a SCSI tape via cardbus

[Douglas Phillipson]

How does the mechanism work?  If the right driver is already loaded when 
the card gets inserted, the devices are made when the "st" device is 
loaded.  What should be the order of events here.  The aic7xxx module, 
then the st module then insert card?  Does it matter which order?

Thanks for your time.
