Package: hibernate
Version: 1.93-1
Severity: normal

A couple of scriptlets use 'rmmod' to remove a module, instead of
'modprobe -r'. This can cause problems with modules that have settings
in modprobe.d which must be read when they are unloaded. (Example: the
ipw3945 module runs a daemon upon load, and kills it upon unload. If the
daemon is still running when something attempts to unload ipw3945, it
refuses to unload, causing hibernate to fail if ipw3945 is a blacklisted
module and is not removed with 'modprobe -r'.)

Is there any reason rmmod is being used instead of modprobe? Are there
any systems where modprobe is not available or does not work correctly
or something?
