[solved] kernel modules load relies on removed dkms modul

I had installed a dkms module to get my wireless adapter to work. Since the automatic compilation does not work anymore with kernel 4.15.2 i decided to use a cable connection again. After removing the dkms module the system fails to load kernel modules:

systemctl --failed
  UNIT                         LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION                                                                           
● systemd-modules-load.service loaded failed failed Load Kernel Modules

$:> /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load                                                                                                  
Failed to find module '8192eu'

This is the module  i had installed to get my wireless network running: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8192eu/

I have removed the module by

sudo dkms remove rtl8192eu/1.0

But i have to admit that i have played around by other rtl8192 related packages with installing and  removing. Can't say exactly anymore what i have tried.

Some information:

$:> uname -r
4.15.2-2-ARCH

$:> sudo dkms status
# no output

$:> find /usr -name '8192eu*'                                                                                                              
/usr/lib/modules/4.11.5-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8192eu.ko                                                                       
/usr/lib/modules/4.11.6-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8192eu.ko                                                                       
/usr/src/rtl8192eu-1.0/8192eu.mod.c                                                                                                        
/usr/src/rtl8192eu-1.0/8192eu.ko                                                                                                           
/usr/src/rtl8192eu-1.0/8192eu.mod.o                                                                                                        
/usr/src/rtl8192eu-1.0/8192eu.o

How can i remove the try to load a non existing dkms module by systemd-modules-load.service?

Thanks for any help.

Re: [solved] kernel modules load relies on removed dkms modul

Look at the contents of the files you have in /etc/modules-load.d/.

Re: [solved] kernel modules load relies on removed dkms modul

Ah, thanks. There was one file called 8192eu.conf. I moved it away (to have a backup) and now all is fine.

Thanks :-)
