Hi all,

I would want to check if a module is in active use by hardware and
, if not, unload it. I.e. if there is no USB device connected when I
run this script, I want to rmmod all USB related modules. I have tried
to get that info via proc or lsmod, but neither worked.


Any hints appreciated,
Richard

Just use rmmod. It will refuse to unload modules that are in use.

At least for ipw2100, that is not the case. It unloads just fine while
eth2 is up and happily transmitting data.

This seems to be a bug!
You should report it.
