Rather than starting ipw3945d in local.start, it is probably better to |
| 10 |
start/stop it with the module. You should have a |
| 11 |
/etc/modules.d/ipw3945 file that contains: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
---- |
| 14 |
install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 ; sleep 0.2; |
| 15 |
/sbin/ipw3945d --quiet |
| 16 |
remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill ; sleep 0.2; /sbin/modprobe -r |
| 17 |
--ignore-remove ipw3945 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
alias pci:v00008086d00004222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off |
| 20 |
alias pci:v00008086d00004227sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off |
| 21 |

If so, run "modules-update" to regenerate /etc/modules.conf and |
| 24 |
activate the instructions. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Note: I'm not sure which of the above lines I modified myself and |
| 27 |
which ones came from the ipw3945 package. But the first line starts |
| 28 |
the daemon when the module is loaded, the second stops it when the |
| 29 |
module is unloaded, but only if you use "modprobe -r ipw3945". It |
| 30 |
will _not_ work correctly if you do "rmmod ipw3945". |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The third and fourth lines prevent the module from being loaded |
| 33 |
automatically by udev, and are necessary because /var on my system |
| 34 |
isn't mounted when udev starts. |
