Can't Remove Module dc2xx
I am trying to get a program running that will help manage my HP 618
digital camera. The fellow who wrote the program, a non-Debian fellow, has
looked at the log files the program produces and found the reason the
program can't see the camera on the usb port is that a module, dc2xx,
intended for Kodak cameras is present and is grabbing the port.
I remember when I did my debian install I added that module thinking it
might be used by my camera as well, but not so. Now I want to remove it.
I have looked at /etc/modules and see that it is auto generated and not to
be edited.
I have run modconf. There I see the dc2xx module. I unselect it and hit
ok. My console tells me the module is removed and by running lsmod I see
it is gone.
But after I reboot, lsmod produces:
Module Size Used by Not tainted
apm 9116 1 (autoclean)
dc2xx 3136 0 (unused)
emu10k1 55712 0 (autoclean)
sound 52844 0 (autoclean) [emu10k1]
ac97_codec 9568 0 (autoclean) [emu10k1]
soundcore 3204 7 (autoclean) [emu10k1 sound]
usb-uhci 20676 0 (unused)
usbcore 48000 1 [dc2xx usb-uhci]
3c59x 24616 1
ntfs 48512 0 (unused)
keybdev 1664 0 (unused)
input 3040 0 [keybdev]
I tried running update-modules after using modconf to remove it again but
on reboot, I still have that module.
Can someone tell me what I am missing in the process of getting rid of this
module? I assume that, as a module, it is not part of the kernel and that
it is a matter of getting things set so it does not load that module but
obviously I am missing something.
I have hunted through various documents google produced and the man page
for modconf but haven't come across a solution.
