	Curently driver do work properly (including SMP).

Users can hold onto procfs files after the driver
modules are unloaded.  For example:

rmmod eth0 </proc/sys/net/ipv4/eth0/whatever

If IRDA creates any procfs files for devices that are
registered, you have this problem too.

This is not fixable without first making sure every net driver in the
entire tree abides by a few rules, and that is what Stephen is doing.

	No problem, it's just that with the total lack of testing of
IrDA in 2.6.0, I'm a bit nervous, as always. Would it be possible for
Stephen to use some real IrDA hardware so that he can double check
what he is doing ?
	Have fun...

I have some, but haven't used it so far.
For the load/unload testing, it is possible to setup irtty (and irlan)
without real hardware.  So far, haven't had to change the hardware drivers.
