<FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=2 FACE="Verdana">Perhaps. It could also be problems with the new infrastructure changes.<BR>
In which case Hans would be interested if you can narrow it down to that<BR>
or not.<BR>

<BR> <FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">thanks for the quick response. I managed to fix the module unload problems by selecting "Enable drivers not supported by this kernel" at compile time. It didn't occur to me to have this enabled earlier as I just ran with the defaults. I will try some of your other suggestions and report back shortly.</FONT></P>
