Hi I've got a current of arch Voodoo, everything is running ok but I've noticed problem. I can't stop to load some modules, I've PRISM 2,5 based WIFI card and I want to load it's wlan-ng drivers but lsmod command gives me following output:
[root@Dragon etc]# lsmod | grep orinoco
orinoco_cs 14084 0
orinoco 38548 1 orinoco_cs
hermes 6656 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco
pcmcia 31020 2 orinoco_cs,hostap_cs
pcmcia_core 33560 5 orinoco_cs,hostap_cs,pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic
[root@Dragon etc]#
I've tried to disable orinoco module to load but with complete failure, I tried to add this module to rc.conf module blacklist, but without any effect.
Thanks for any help,

can you post your rc.conf?
Also, try adding "MODULES=(.... !orinoco_cs ...)" to see if that changes anything

Our wlan-ng package only provides the USB drivers - pcmcia and pci are covered by orinoco and/or hostap, provided by the kernel packages.

here you are, I've tried it what you described, it also didn't help

I had the same problem with orinoco_cs. I found out the module was inserted due to an udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-pcmcia.rules
# modprobe $env{MODALIAS} loads all possibly appropriate modules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", \
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}"
To suppress autoloading of appropriate modules and only load the desired module I created a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe [modulename]", OPTIONS="last_rule"
The option "last_rule" makes udev ignore any other rules concerning the pcmcia subsystem.
