Yosemite OS: Turning a kext off and on -- consequences? Are there consequences to turning a kext on and off repeatedly?

Also, How can I check to make sure a specific kext is already on or off?
I do not know how you turn kext on and off instead load and unload.

But, if you want to know current loaded kext's use Terminal.

kextstat &gt; ~/Desktop/kexts.txt


This will output a text file to your Desktop of currently active kext.
