The catch is that the driver in question has to support unloading. All the existing network interfaces are pseudo-modules and only have a load routine. Obviously this requires a fair amount of work to detach a network interface from the stack (including cleaning up routing tables, pcbs, queued data, etc) - nobody has done this yet as far as I'm aware. I suspect there is a fair amount of infrastructure required to implement this.
