On 2.6.24-19 kernel, with linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-19 installed:
sudo modprobe -r iwl3945 --> The module is correctly unloaded
sudo modprobe iwl3945 --> The module is correctly loaded
On 2.6.24-20 kernel, with linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-20 installed:
sudo modprobe -r iwl3945 --> kernel panic (I have an Intel 3945 wifi chipset)
--- I uninstalled linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-20 and rebooted ---
New behavior:
On 2.6.24-19 kernel, with linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-19 installed :
sudo modprobe -r iwl3945 --> The module is correctly unloaded
sudo modprobe iwl3945 --> The module is correctly loaded
On 2.6.24-20 kernel, with linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-20 NOT installed :
sudo modprobe -r iwl3945 --> The module is correctly unloaded
sudo modprobe iwl3945 --> The module is correctly loaded
So this bug is definitely related to the Intel WiFi driver that is in the linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-20
