Summary:                    zaptel.init: Unloading kernel modules while asterisk
has them in use can cause panic.
Description: 
The init script will cause kernel modules to be forcibly removed while they
are in use. This is bad mojo and should not occur.

Suggest a condition be added to kill the unload if asterisk is running. 

Suggested edit below so it will need to be made a patch by someone who is
disclaimed, possibly with a more creative error...

Can you give a backtrace of the panic?   

A problem like this should be fixed in the drivers because if the
reference counts are maintained properly, the kernel should not allow a
module to be unloaded which is currently in use.  The trace should speed
things along with resolving this....
