Parallel IO port conflict (driver problem)

[Shenli Zhu]

Hi all,

I am reading "Linux device driver 3rd". I try to insmod the "short"
example(a example use parallel port).

But the port 0x378 is allocated to parport. And parport is used by
ppdev, parport_pc and lp.

Shall I rmmod all these 4 module to insmod "short"?

Thanks,
David
