* there is no way to distinguish between failing modprobe and successful one followed by rmmod -a (e.g. called by cron). For one thing, we don't pass exit value of modprobe to caller of request_module().

Comments?

Please do not concern yourself with rmmod -a running from cron. For one thing, it helpfuly removes your USB keyboard support. I do not think any distributions install it anymore.
