Hi Igor:  In 2.6.x kernels there are two new features in make config
or menuconfig which ask if you modules to be unloadable.  You might
want to check those settings because I believe the default is don't
unload modules.  There is a fairly growing community of kernel hackers
which because of the problems inherent in unloading modules don't
think it should be done.
