Removing a module

[pjo123]

Hi all

In order to stop a module loading, do I have to re-build the kernel (yet again lol)?

Takes about 1hr to re-build on my machine.

I appreciate I can remove the module with modprobe -r but I need to stop it starting in the first place.

I discovered the rmmod command :)

You should also probably hunt down where it is loading that module, and why.

So... what module is it, and what distro are you using?
