Does having the ability to boot into single user mode break networking? No, it *allows* you to break networking. Does the _support_ of rmmod break the kernel? No, but it *allows* you to.
Are SNMP traps generated by going into single-user mode? Rather like what I was saying to Brian earlier. I suspect though that an rmmod doesn't generate an SNMP trap - unless perhaps that to do the rmmod one has to first ifdown the interface and that might?
