Why remove a module for a device you are using? Why? Well the capability was one of the original reasons for creating modules in the first place; they were not created for dynamic loading of drivers for hot plug devices. It is not an issue of removing a module for a device you are using; you may want to remove a module for a device you are *not* using, whether or not that device still happens to be present (and it may not even be capable of removal). -- dave _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
