Sorry, blew away those scripts when I switched over to the at76c503
driver.

# ifconfig ethX down

Right.  While the interface is up, the usbvnetr module is in use,
therefore you can't rmmod it.  When you take the interface down, the
module should no longer be in use, and you should be able to rmmod it.
If not, there's a bug in the usbvnetr that's not playing nice with its
state.
