Hello, I access external hardware thru usbserial: # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xNNNN product=0xN With kernel 2.6.34 (version 2.6.34.8-0.2-default, OpenSUSE 11.3) it was possible to remove usbserial without physically disconnecting this device: # modprobe -r usbserial With kernel 2.6.37 (version 2.6.37.6-0.5-default, OpenSUSE 11.4) this no longer works, removal of usbserial fails with: # modprobe -r usbserial FATAL: Module usbserial is in use. The device needs to be disconnected before removal of the module succeeds. Is there an option to get back the original (2.6.34) behaviour?
