Blacklisting does not work...

["Fawad Nazir" <fawad.nazir@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I am using Ubuntu 5.10, Linux v.2.6.16.5 and trying to use hostap_cs
driver for my prism chipset card instead of orinoco_cs.

I am trying to blacklist orinoco & orinoco_cs drivers. I have tried
three things:

1. I added these driver names in /etc/hotplug/blacklist

2. I also tried to do:
fawad@Ubuntu-01:/etc/hotplug$ echo 'blacklist orinoco' | sudo tee -a
/etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist
blacklist orinoco
fawad@Ubuntu-01:/etc/hotplug$ echo 'blacklist orinoco_cs' | sudo tee
-a /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist
blacklist orinoco_cs

3. I also tried $sudo modprobe -r orinoco_cs
                     $sudo modprobe -r orinocu_cs

But still when i plug my PCMCIA card, automatically orinoco_cs driver
is loaded and is assigned to my card.

fawad@Ubuntu-01:/etc/hotplug$ ls -al /sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 2006-05-17 10:26
/sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver ->
../../../../../bus/pcmcia/drivers/orinoco_cs

I dont know how is this card being loaded. Please let me know, how can
i get rid of this driver.

Anyhelp in this regard will be highly appretiated.

Regards,
