2812FX Express Card Locks up a PC

Why does the 2812FX Express card cause my Notebook to freeze?

The 2812FX can cause a computer to freeze if there is a removal/insertion while the machine is in operation. To avoid this, make sure the machine is powered off when the card needs to be removed/inserted and then power on the machine.

The freeze occurs only when there is a surprise removal/insertion of the card while the machine is in operation.
