It should be the STAY_LOADED symbol set to 1, I guess.
The driver, compiled that way, won't unload from kernel 
(or be reloaded by devfs on image modification) until you close the internal 
open() he made on himself to stay loaded. 
Asking him to stop/unload is necessary in this mode.

Sorry, I should have add echo "stop" > /dev/net/stack in the 
Makefile install target.

BTW, as all kernel modules are still using the B_KEEP_LOADED flags, 
STAY_LOADED can't works

If not even a reboot don't make the driver loading again, something 
is really broken in init_driver(). Or deeper.
