Use modinfo(1M) to confirm that the driver is loaded.

The number in the info field is the major number that has been chosen for the driver. The modunload(1M) command can be used to unload a module if the module ID is provided. The module ID is found in the left column of modinfo output.
Sometimes a driver does not unload as expected after a modunload is issued, because the driver is determined to be busy. This situation occurs when the driver fails detach(9E), either because the driver really is busy, or because the detach entry point is implemented incorrectly.
