How to disable a driver for a device in Linux?

Question

ubuntu

Can't get usb device interface. The error is like this:

Failed to claim interface 0: Device or resource busy (16)

I realized that I need to disable the "standard" driver for the device in order to free it for my needs. How to do it in Ubuntu?

Answer 1

lsmod - find the module of the unnecessary driver
modprobe -r - remove the module
at the simplest
if for a long time then create a file for example /etc/modprobe.d/drop_my_mod
and enter
blacklist %mod_name% into it
