if your nics are indeed using this module, and if you dont need the network
while troubleshooting then why not stop the network and then remove the module?
like:
/etc/init.d/network stop
modprobe -r be2net
once again, this will only work if you dont need the server to keep connected,
which from your initial email you may not want it : "So when I am trying to
remove be2net driver as [ rmmod be2net ] , though it is not objecting but
server is getting disconnected from the network"
if by any chance you can get another nic installed, you may ifdown all other
interfaces instead of stopping the entire network "service", since what it is
important is that nothing require be2net when you request to offload the module
from running kernel
thank
roger

Hi
I am replying all of you , who answered my request in one email.
Yes, the be2net driver is being used by the nics.. They are bonded and also
two of them are using the vlan trunk.
Tried to ifdown the eths but they are still up.. though I am not using none
of the trunk vlan at this moment.. also I am trying
to do all these work from the console..
So to unload this driver what else I need to do - pl. advice.
Thanks again
Srija

Sorry but if i lose the network when i remove a module, it's better verify if
it's in use before blacklisting the module

Google on how to black list a module on your linux host.
