I am running Potato with kernel 2.2.17pre6. If I dial out to my ISP kmod loads the appropriate modules but they are not unloaded, after pppd is terminated, even though there is a Root crontab to do this.
If I type, as Root, 'modprobe -r', which I understand will unload any unused modules, no modules are unloaded. This is, of course, after pppd is terminated. I can load the ppp modules manually and, if pppd is not running, I would assume that these modules are 'unused' and would be unloaded with 'modprobe -r' but they are not. I can unload then if I specify the module name(s) on the modprobe command line. Am I misunderstanding the process or is there something wrong? Barry Samuels
