I'm confused now. My point was that if you blacklist a module but the initrd's haven't been rebuilt, you may still have the module in the initrd. Honestly, I don't know, without looking, what net modules might get included in the initrd, but if your initrd's are built with a "most" modules configuration, it just may be in there. If that module gets inserted during the initrd phase of the boot, no amount of blacklisting will do you any good because it's already inserted. But I'm not fully up on this thread, so I'll bow out now. A
