Hallo Bjorn & Kenji,

   the hot-plug was enabled, but today I have received a new BIOS from 
Congatec which solves the problem.

Among the fix is:

_BBRAR009 to BBRAR110:_

2. Enabled PCIExpress / ExpressCard basic hotplug support. Enabled event 
handling support.

Now after the manual rescan my FPGA board gets detect correctly and I 
can access its registers in the correct way.


Many thanks for all your supports.

My best regards,
Ghani
