Background: I have this problem with mac80211 based drivers, but not with softmac drivers. When unloading the module rmmod never quits and this message is repeated in dmesg: "unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1 to become free. Usage count = 1" This only happens when logged in to kde, not in a runlevel3 terminal.
I have found that knetworkmanager has to do with this. If I have not associated to a network through knetworkmanager, unloading works fine. If I associate once, usage count in dmesg is reported as 1. If I associate 5 times then usage count=5, etc. I believe knetworkmanager or some tool it uses doesn't release a handle, but that brings the question: why does it work with the softmac drivers? Any suggestions how I can proceed to find the broken code? I don't even know if it's knetworkmanagers fault, mac80211, b43 or something else. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
