The identical message is based on the kernel identifier as specified by the kexts info.plist.

I have an IP filter kernel extension, and I am experimenting with an interface filter kext. I have Terminal scripts to load and unload them.

The kextload command seems to treat them as identical. If I load one and try to load the other, the result says it is already loaded. When I load one and unload the other, it succeeds, and the first has been unloaded.

They have different names and different locations. How is kextload confusing them?

Just for the record here is a load script:

cd `dirname $0`/MocanaIPSecKext/build/release
sudo cp -R com.Mocana.ipsec.kext /tmp
cd /tmp
sudo kextload -v  com.Mocana.ipsec.kext

and its unload companion:

cd `dirname $0`/MocanaIPSecKext/build/release
sudo kextunload com.Mocana.ipsec.kext


The scripts for the interface filter are the same but for the file location and name.


thanks,

David
