IPSec: Device or ressource busy

[PROBLEM]
When I tried to stop the ipsec service, I got this error message:
ipsec_setup ipsec: Device or resource busy

although I did a "ifconfig ipsec0 down" before.


[SOLUTION]
The kernel-module "ipsec" couldn't be unloaded because of encryption modules (e.g.: ipsec_aes, ipsec_sha1, ...) loaded on top of it.

Unload those modules and ipsec can be stopped cleanly.
