Hello,

	This lockdep warning is seen when I remove pcmcia wifi card
from the slot. Doesn't happen every time. It's x86_32.

=======================================================
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
2.6.26-rc2-mm1 #2
-------------------------------------------------------
pccardd/1037 is trying to acquire lock:
 (rtnl_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02870f1>] rtnl_lock+0x14/0x16

but task is already holding lock:
 (&socket->skt_mutex){--..}, at: [<c02608ba>] pccardd+0x161/0x28c

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
