Re: [Linux-ATM-General] Error message: atm_dev_deregister

[Alex Z. <aj...@ca...>]

Hi David,

I don't know what driver/hardware you are using but the only situation in which
atm_dev_deregister() would be called is when a module is unloaded.  As far as I
can see there is no need to unload an atm driver module just to reboot the
computer.  So....

quick fix: find the script which is calling rmmod <driver> or modprobe -r
<driver> and remove that line.

proper fix: re-code the cleanup_module() function in <driver>.c.
