I don't need my lan adapter often so I compiled it's driver as a module: i8169. It is not listed in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 but still gets loaded:

Code:
floppes flo # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
r8169                  32124  0
mii                     4792  1 r8169
nvidia               8108616  32


How can I stop it from loading?

Add
Code:
blacklist r8169

to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and run (as root):
Code:
# update-modules


I don't see any reason to do this though, it won't slow your system down to have it loaded and it's just annoying to manually load the module when you need it.
