From what I remember when I've tried it, it generally crashes/reboots when you remove the card. Can't remember if the same thing happens when you insert the USB cable. I've found a way around the problems with it unmounting because of the USB cable: I created a second partition (it's a 1GB card) and made the swapfile there. I can use ext3 to get proper permissions/execute support as well, so it's quite nice. The only hangup is having to manually remount it after a reboot, but it's worth the trouble. A GUI tool for toggling swap and mounts would sure be neat! Removing the card while the second partition is mounted is not a good idea and sometimes it takes a reboot to fix it.
