[Bug 659531] [NEW] ndiswrapper cannot be removed

[Tony Pursell]

Public bug reported:

ndisgtk was installed to test if a USB wireless modem could be enabled
using ndiswrapper.  It did not so it was 'purged' and so was
ndiswrapper-common.  However, the ndiswrapper modules are still being
loaded.  Removing and inserting the USB wireless modem results in the
following syslog entries

Oct 12 21:58:00 osiris kernel: [  494.006015] usb 1-7: USB disconnect, address 5
Oct 12 21:58:05 osiris kernel: [  498.368050] usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
Oct 12 21:58:05 osiris kernel: [  498.518386] usb 1-7: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Oct 12 21:58:05 osiris kernel: [  498.570974] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
Oct 12 21:58:05 osiris kernel: [  498.580555] ndiswrapper version 1.55 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no)
Oct 12 21:58:05 osiris kernel: [  498.583130] usbcore: registered new interface driver ndiswrapper

This can be disabled by blacklisting ndiswrapper, but this still does
not cause the original modules for the USB wireless modem to be loaded.
