Thanks for your feedback. I tried what you suggested. For the tg3
command, there was no feedback from the computer. However, for the
ipw2100 command, it gave the following feedback:
root@debian:/home/mark# modprobe -r tg3 && modprobe tg3
root@debian:/home/mark# modprobe -r ipw2100 && modprobe ipw2100

It gave a complaining beep while doing this. I'm attaching a text file
with "dmesg | grep ipw2100" (grep tg3 gives nothing).
