Hi.

I think this was always so. I just checked other system
with vanila 3.0.0 kernel, and it also says "Used by" == 0
I do not remember exactly, but I think it was always saying zero.
You can actually always rmmod ipw220, regardles
whetever network interface is used, opened, up, or whetever.
I guess hot plug is important here.
