Hi

You're not trying to use ipv6 or have the module loaded by any chance? When 
working
on the driver I had similar problems with rmmod on 2.5 when the ipv6 module
was loaded, without it unloading worked just fine (if I understood correctly,
this is a known problem with all ethernet drivers). In any case I'll try 
reproducing the problem when I get back home.
