[openfabrics-ewg] Not able to remove modules in SLES10

[Sharma, Karun]

Hi:
 
When I am trying to remove ipoib module on SLES10 machine, it is not getting removed. I am using "modprobe -r ib_ipoib" command. This command is not giving me any error but if i do lsmod, i still see the module running. I have also tried rmmod.
 
Please note that on RHEL4 up3 kernel, I am able to remove the module.
 
Attached below is the output. I have also attached output from /var/log/messages file below. Is it a bug in OFED  or SLES ?
 
Thanks,
Karun
