I'd agree with that 1000%. If the drivers are capable of starting any
of the digium cards from a power-on boot, then there is absolutely no
reason why a driver restart can't be as effective.

Since the folks that believe a power cycle is required seem to be 
running a v2.6 kernel, it would sound like the problem is not card
desgign issues.
