Subject: 'make unload' fails if you run Ubuntu Hardy
Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2008 21:34:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1203885279.7537.1.camel@pc-thnov-ubuntu> (raw)

Hello

I have just installed the latest compat-wireless system and 'make
unload' failed for me.

thnov@pc-thnov-ubuntu:~/src/compat-wireless-2.6$ sudo make unload
Unloading iwl3945...
Unloading mac80211...
Unloading cfg80211...
FATAL: Module cfg80211 is in use.
make: *** [unload] Error 1
thnov@pc-thnov-ubuntu:~/src/compat-wireless-2.6$ lsmod | grep iwl
iwlwifi_mac80211      220004  0
cfg80211               15112  1 iwlwifi_mac80211
thnov@pc-thnov-ubuntu:~/src/compat-wireless-2.6$ sudo modprobe -r
iwlwifi_mac80211
thnov@pc-thnov-ubuntu:~/src/compat-wireless-2.6$ sudo make unload
thnov@pc-thnov-ubuntu:~/src/compat-wireless-2.6$ 
 
So by manually unloading iwlwifi_mac80211 I managed to get past this.

Rgds,

Thomas

Ps. I'm not on the list.
