Re: Getting rid of a module
Figure out what's using the module and kill it first. In this example:
perrin:/home/aperrin# lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
i810_audio 20480 0 (unused)
ac97_codec 9568 0 [i810_audio]
ac97_codec is used by i810_audio so:
perrin:/home/aperrin# rmmod ac97_codec
ac97_codec: Device or resource busy
But:
perrin:/home/aperrin# rmmod i810_audio ac97_codec
works fine.
