Removing drivers

To remove drivers from memory use:

modprobe -vr GobiSerial
modprobe -vr GobiNet

To prevent drivers from loading in the first place see blacklisting:

Gobiserial specific

If your desire is to fix bad drivers then as per this website you must install firmware updates via Windows, not Linux:

FIRMWARE UPDATE: (Incase you need one)

The firmware update has to be done on windows. Insert the device into a windows box, and let it install drivers and enumerate interafaces. Make sure you can see the managment webpage.

Note the three typos in the original instructions, it's a bad omen....
