That means no module depends on it. But it doesn't mean this particular module isn't required. Does lsmod know about all installed software and if a module is needed > or does software have to be run first ? > lsmod doesn't care about software. It only reports modules and their dependencies. > If I don't need them can somebody remind me how I can remove modules ? > rmmod(8), but in most cases you shouldn't remove modules. Many modules are loaded by ``udev`` to support your hardware, so be sure not to unload your NIC driver by accident)
