I am sure which one it is but a special file in /proc or
/sys will tell you if 
your drive supports the media change report. Without this,
the whole thing 
cannot work and you have to unplug and replug the device for
proper 
detection.

Some USB card readers also suffer from this.

I'm quite sure this drive supports this event since it
worked a few months ago 
without any problems. But now it doesn't and unfortunately
the kernel, dbus 
hal and kde are all updated... So it's impossible for me to
find out who's 
responsible for this behaviour...
