sorry, i thought i could rmmod evey module which was insmod/modprobe'd
before and i didn`t know that there are exceptions

> I'm not sure what is happened with vmware.

i think this is not completely related to vmware - but maybe this is being
triggered more often by vmware ?
http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=%22unregister_netdevice%3A+waiting+for+eth0+to+become+free

it`s really strange, but after taking a look, vmware seems to recommend
disabling ipv6 for _every_ linux based guest OS in general:
http://pubs.vmware.com/guestnotes/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=gos_ww5_output&file=choose_install_guest_os.html

since there are already running millions of linux based VMs in this world,
i think this isn`t very good "promotion" for ipv6, if vmware recommending
disabling it.
ok, there are not that much people already needing ipv6 NOW, but the later
they are running it and the later outstanding bugs being fixed, the harder
it will be to convert from ipv4 to ipv6....
