>> here a bug

it seems it`s lapbether driver

reproduce:

on system with pcnet32 (vmware) do

modprobe pcnet32
modprobe lapbether
modprobe -r lapbether
modprobe -r pcnet32 -> hang -> unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to
become free

didn`t try with other nic`s, but i assume it`s independent from pcnet32

MODULE_AUTHOR("Jonathan Naylor <g4klx@g4klx.demon.co.uk>");
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("The unofficial LAPB over Ethernet driver");
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

ok, experimental one, so not a real problem, but CC`ing the Author.

regards
roland
