Er, if the kernel autoprobes them, modprobe gets called with -k, which means
that among other things, when it's not been in use it can be "autocleaned",
ie rmmod -a'ing twice in some time frame will remove it. If you just do
'modprobe airport', you don't get autoclean and thus you have to remove it
explicitly.

You're right, changing locally. Thanks.
