rmmod should work in general, you just have to unload the modules in
the right order so that you are not unloading modules that are in use
by other modules. I have not used the hotplug black list but sounds like
that would worth a try if rmmod didn't work out, for me it was easy to 
take the card out for a sec and just reboot ;)

If neither of the solutions that are possible for you work, I am sure
that there is another way...
