[Xastir] USB on Linux for TNC

rmmod does not appear to be a valid command in RH9. I have searched my
RH9 for Dummies book (the big one, not appended) and I don't see
anything about removing modules except if I re-compile the Kernel. 

That is a bit of a task for a newbie but I may very well do that
sometime soon and delete some of the un-necessary stuff that is taking
up resources and probably slowing me down. 

I looked at the file in the kernel library and there are several USB
modules in there. I'll need to re-boot and see exactly what is what. I
don't want to change the name of the incorrect USB module. I think it is
the HID module but I am not sure if HID is JUST for the keyboard and
mouse or other things. I do not see anything that states keyboard or
mouse.
