asterisk users - Aug 2010 - OT - How to blacklist a driver in /etc/modprobe.d without reboot

Hi,

On lenny, when I'm adding a "blacklist hfc4s8s_l1" statement in a
/etc/modprobe.d/myfile.conf  file, this change seems ineffective until I
reboot :
# dahdi_genconf -v system
Default parameters from /etc/dahdi/genconf_parameters
Empty configuration -- no spans
Generating /etc/dahdi/system.conf

I tried this :
/etc/init.d/module-init-tools
then this :
/etc/init.d/udev restart
but still, I'm getting the "Empty configuration" answer.

If I reboot the system, the "dahdi_genconf -v system" command works
OK.

How can I make this command successfull without rebooting ?

Regards

Or rather: this prevents the next time a module tries to load
automatically.

Why not manually run:

  rmmod hfc4s8s_l1

Once this is done, modprobe wcb4xxp (or whatever) manually, or use the
methods you mentioned to "restart".
