When I try to rmmod a module and it says 'device or module busy' or something of the like, how can I find out 'who' ( as in pid or module name ) is using it? I there something that behaves like the command fuser for modules?

well, usually a module is being used by the system.. for devices installed. if your system is using it say your network module and your on a network, you probably would have to bring your network down before trying to remove the module used by it..

Yes, that's what I did last time. I was trying to see if there was a better way to do it. Well, I guess there isnt.

thanks tricky.
