Your guess is correct, it is not in there. |

Once upon a time it had to be manually added, probably been the default for a |
| 19 |
while though. |

You know, I can't actually recall manually tweaking anything to get it like |
| 27 |
that (although that may be due to poor memory rather than a lack of manual |
| 28 |
intervention). I have no 10-local.rules in my /etc/udev/rules.d . |

I just rechecked and udev-postmount is actually a red herring (sorry). |
| 31 |

I used to have the modules load , which initiated the ipw3945d with an error |
| 33 |
that it can't start until runlevel three, then it worked perfectly once that |
| 34 |
runlevel was reached. Now it loads the module but delays starting ipw3945d |
| 35 |
until inside runlevel three with the message "device initiated services: |
| 36 |
ipw3945d udev-postmount". I think an upgrade made the difference. So maybe |
| 37 |
they have nothing to do with each other except being launched at the same |
| 38 |
time. |

I've been poking through my system and can't find anything that explicitly |
| 41 |
controls when it starts. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I'm using baselayout-1.12.10-r4, ipw3945-1.2.0, ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4 . See if |
| 44 |
using those versions makes it magically 'just work' for you. I fnot I can |
| 45 |
poke around more. |
