search the kernel documentation for the module name and you'll get a description in the most cases.
(in make menuconfig, type / and your search words...)
BTW: use modprobe -r instead of rmmod, it is somewhat more intelligent...
some modules are loaded using /etc/modules, some are discovered by udev, but there is a blacklist file somewhere (try /etc/udev/...)
HTH,
