Loading And Unloading Kernel Modules - insmod/rmmod

• Module loading and unloading may only be performed by root.
• To load a Kernel Module, use the insmod command:

  [root@simey ~]# insmod eeprom
  Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-17.7.x/kernel/drivers/sensors/eeprom.o
       

  Check with lsmod that the Module was indeed loaded.
• To un-load a Kernel Module, use the rmmod command:

  [root@simey ~]# rmmod eeprom
       

  Check with lsmod that the Module was indeed un-loaded.
