Linux Kernel Module

What you need is to "blacklist module". Search for that :)

PD: you can unload them now using "modprobe -r module_name". To prevent loading on boots, you have to blacklist them.

Thanks for reply. There are many files in /etc/modprob.d/ directory, as listed:

blacklist-ath_pci.conf

blacklist.conf

blacklist-firewire.conf

blacklist-framebuffer.conf

blacklist-watchdog.conf

Where should i make the entry of the module to disable it. Will the change take effect by making entry to the file. I have tried it in blacklist.conf file. But zcat /proc/config.gz tells that these modules are loaded.

I request to community members to help me.

All files under /etc/modprobe.d/ are processed on boot (this is why you see modules still loaded). You can edit one of them or add a new one.

To unload those modules without reboot, you can do "sudo modprobe -r nfnatsip" and "sudo modprobe -r nfconntracksip". This is only valid until next reboot (you have to blacklist them to make it permanent).
