Is blacklisting broken? I've created /etc/modprobe.d/wireless.conf with one line: blacklist r8712u and yet, after a reboot, the r8712u module is installed. Why? It isn't being used; if I run rmmod -vv r8712u it is removed and nothing else changes. The wireless USB adapter still works, because it is using a new r92su module. The wireless adapter is a Rosewill; lsusb identifies it as: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter It has worked with the r8712u module for a long time, but recently became intermitant and yesterday stopped altogether. It still works fine with Fedora 24; but fails with kernel-4.10.12-200.fc25.x86_64. So I fetched an experimental developmental new r92su module from git clone https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su.git After building and installing, the r92su module works perfectly. I've solved the main problem, but am left with the blacklist mystery. Apparently "blacklist r8712u" does prevent r8712u from being used, but not from being installed. Is that not weird? -- David A.
