Using a vanilla 2.6.0-test2 kernel with 8139too loaded as a module for eth0 (my only NIC), I get:

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
nfsd                  158048  17 
exportfs                6320  1 nfsd
autofs4                15408  2 
nfs                   147356  4 
lockd                  65104  3 nfsd,nfs
sunrpc                126852  22 nfsd,nfs,lockd
8139too                24096  0 
mii                     5424  1 8139too
crc32                   4720  1 8139too

i.e. states that 8139too is not used ... but it is!

Using 'rmmod 8139too' works - but, unsurprisingly, all network activity stops ...

Under 2.4.X, 8139too is 'in use' and can't be rmmod'ed.
