We have found a software work around in that I can write to the bridge on module exit and it will always detect correctly next boot (through module_exit when rmmod'd). > > However on shutting down a machine with the module loaded it never works next time, so is module_exit actually called?
It's only called when the module is explicitely unloaded.
You can use register_reboot_notifier() though.
