so the unloading order is crucial for me.
In general, kernel modules are not unloaded at system shutdown.
If they are unloaded, that's done so by the initscripts of various
programs. A quick grep 'modprobe -r' /etc/init.d/* shows that
cpuspeed, ip6tables, ip6tables, and lm_sensors initscripts (on my
system) unload kernel modules.
Thanks,
