Hello everyone.
How do I get to remove ("hot remove") PCI WiFi card?

You mean physically pulling the card out?
You dont.

Power down the machine, then get the card out.

You dont.

I do, read hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_swapping
if you don't know what is "Hot" remove

I do know what hot swapping is.

For that you need two things:
a) the kernel module knows, that its device can suddenly disapear. I havent looked, if that is the case for the module for your PCI card
b) more important: the motherboard must support that. For regular desktop motherboards and even most server boards that is not the case.

Without that feature, there is a good chance you fry your hardware.

So unless
- the documentation of your motherboard does not clearly state that ist supports hot plugging,
- and additionally you are not confident the kernel module can handle it:
Dont do it on a live system.

at first, "kernel module" is not about plugging device.
setpci has some flags, and you need to work with a hexadecimal values
for example, you have some "macros": DEVICE_ID, STATUS and so on (about 20 values).
so I thought if it's possible to op one if that values (maybe shift, or echo 0). I don't know. I am still thinking. udev?
