unload module was uninstall

Hi,

I uninstall the packages

#pacman -R ipw3945 ipw3945d ipw3945-ucode

#pacman -R iwlwifi iwlwifi-3945-ucode

Before to do this i unload the modules

modprobe -r ipw3945
modprobe -r iwl3945

In /etc/rc.conf I remove ipw3945 and iwl3945 from allow modules and ipd3945d from daemon.

So, when I restart or shutdown my hp dv2000 and type

lsmod the modules ipw3945 and iwl3945 are there!

How I can remove these modules! Because this way my card not is detected!

Thank you

if you don't want them to be automatically loaded by udev, you can add them to MOD_BLACKLIST=() in rc.conf

When I write this post I already do this!

I add MOD_BLACKLIST=(ipw3945 iwl3945) in rc.conf and the modules are load !

Ok, add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf

alias ipw3945 off
alias iwl3945 off

The next time you reboot, they shouldn't load.

This way do not ok, yet.

I uncomment in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf the line

FILES="/etc/modprobe.conf"

and remove : autodetect net in HOOKS.

Again the modules ipw3945 and iwl3945 are load.

When I type

modprobe -r ipw3945 ( iwl3945 )

FATAL: Module ipw3945 (iwl3945) not found.

Mistery!
