| |
There is more and more policy being put into the kernel and utilities. Now I can't remove a module because whoever made the new module-init-tools decided that they didn't like its name even though it was installed and running.
In the following I explicitly tell `rmmod` to remove a module with the name "DAS-Link". The "(!@$*!@#^(" program decides that I don't know what I am doing and attempts to remove "DAS_Link" which I never typed, never called for, and should never have even been even guessed.

So, I suppose this name is no longer valid?? If so, this means that hundreds of installed machines can't be updated in the field.
