Re: Trouble unloading a module..

Update:

Just tried the driver with a 2.6.14 and it doesn't suffer the same problem. As it looks to be doing what is required to unregister the chrdev, I'm loath to suggest it, but could this be a bug in the 2.6.8 kernel?

Just a thought, so please shoot me down if I'm completly wrong :)

Cheers,

James

I was thinking that there may have been a common issue that would allow a driver oops the kernel if not unloaded properly. Obviously not.

Thanks for any advice, it's much appreciated.



static struct pci_device_id nfp_pci_tbl[] __devinitdata = {

you probably don't want that __devinitdata there....
