It seems that we are having an issue unloading the ring module.  We are
working on tuning num_slots in order to prevent packet loss on our sensor
but we keep ending up in the situation where we can't unload the module and
have to reboot.  What I believe is triggering the module usage is when you
move in and out of the /proc/net/pf_ring directory.  When the machine first
booted I loaded the module and then moved into this directory.  Usage goes
up by one and when you leave the directory it goes down to 0.  If I moved
into the directory and then got onto a second shell and moved into the
directory as well, usage would go to 4.  After moving both shells out of the
directory it was hung up at three and since no processes are using the ring
there is nothing that I'm away can be done other than rebooting.  Somehow
I've gotten usage up to 61.  Any ideas what we might have done wrong?
