8 my /etc/modules.d/ipw3945 file contains the following:
9
10 install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 ; sleep 0.2;
11 /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet
12 remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill ; sleep 0.2; /sbin/modprobe -r
13 --ignore-remove ipw3945
14 alias pci:v00008086d00004222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off
15 alias pci:v00008086d00004227sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off
16
17 The alias lines are necessary to prevent udev from coldplugging the
18 driver which otherwise would occur at a very early point in the boot
19 sequence...in fact before /var is mounted on my system. Without /var
20 mounted and read-write, ipw3945d cannot start.
21
22 I then "/sbin/modprobe ipw3945" in /etc/conf.d/local.start to load the
23 module near the end of the boot sequence.
24
25 Perhaps you need to do something similar?
