Bug Description

Sorry my english, i'm from Brazil.

Blacklist ssb for load ndiswrapper don't work. See:

# cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
...
blacklist ssb
blacklist b43
...

# lsmod | grep ssb
ssb 32260 0

   But, for work my wire add in rc.local:

# cat /etc/rc.local
...
modprobe -r ssb
modprobe -r ndiswrapper
modprobe ndiswrapper
...

**Workaround** (Read comments)
Add 'blacklist ssb' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Run update-initramfs -u
***** This has worked for me (Pablo Castellano)

It's impossible to blacklist ssb.
I have tried adding it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, creating a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ssb file only for it but nothing works.
I have even removed ssb.ko and rebooted and then the module was still there, shown in lsmod.

Workaround:
I have solved it running 'update-initramfs -u' but it's very unintuitive.

It wouldn't be an issue if ssb module didn't conflict with others like wl or b43...
In my opinion its importance is high and it should be fixed for Intrepid final release as maximum.

This problem is still present in 10.04 including updates up to 16.12.2010.

The workaround however still works.

blacklisting wlan driver r8192e_pci does not work for me. 'blacklist r8192e_pci' is in both /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-wifi.conf, but after a reboot, it is still loaded (checked with 'lsmod | grep 8192')

After changing the blacklist, you must run update-initramfs.
