Hi! After upgrading kernel from 2.4.20 to 2.4.21 I cannot remove any network device driver module with rmmod even when it is in the down state with "ip link set eth0 down". All other (non net) drivers I can remove without any problem. Kernel prints next message every few seconds: unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 2 I'm using module-init-tools version 0.9.10 On the my old notebook with the same kernel (and module-init-tools) only some drivers and functionalities not compiled in, rmmod works fine. By searching 'net I found some things about problem but failed to find solution or explanation. Can someone enlighten me? TIA, Milan - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
