Description

When I try to remove the module of my wifi device (it is the primary_if for bat0), modprobe hangs and dmesg shows this message:

unregister_netdevice: waiting for wlan0 to become free. Usage count = 1

Steps to reproduce it:

- insmod batman-adv
- insmod device_driver
- batctl if add wlan0
- ifconfig wlan0 up
- ifconfig bat0 up
- modprobe -r device_driver

At this point the modprobe hangs. In another terminal I tried to do
modprobe -r batman-adv
and everything went fine here.
