Cannot remove network module

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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
