Out of curiousity, what's the danger in uninstalling a loaded kernel
module?

That's just it - I don't know. I'm paranoid about stuff I don't know the answer to, though, which is why I don't want to delete it if it's still loaded.

But you may be right. It may not be dangerous after all.

Can you tell me for a fact what the answer to this is?
