After you said that, I went to kernel.org and downloaded all the
patches to put me up to 2.5.40. And now hsfconfig fails, with the
following output : 

-----------------

-----------------
So I'm back to using 2.5.34 for the moment. The system does not hang
for me when I try to connect after removing the modules from memory
*then* trying to connect, so it reloads them. It strikes me as strange,
but it seems to work for now.

Well, for most of the kernel releases I believe they are keeping as up
to date with the acpi project as possible. There may still be some
problems with acpi and irq's, but I'm not experiencing any problems.
The 2.4.18 kernel I *was* using did have some troubles in that area,
and that part of the reason why I decided to start using an 'unstable'
kernel on a regular basis :)
