Bug 142518 - net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22 does not install modules.d entry

Description:   Opened: 2006-08-02 03:09 0000 
The ipw3945d-1.7.22 ebuild fails to copy the necessary modules.d file. This is
not strange considering the fact that it does a newins
"${FILESDIR}"/${P}-modprobe.conf ${PN}, and the files directory only contains
ipw3945d-1.7.18-modprobe.conf.

Fixed in CVS, sorry for the inconvenience.

Even with the modules.d file ipw3945d does not start automatically for me, it
never has for the two months or so I am using it now. I have to start it
manually.

Actually me too.  I've had my dell for about 2 months, and I've got in my
/etc/conf.d/local.start file:

rmmod ipw3945
modprobe ipw3945


And that makes things work. Otherwise, when udev/coldplug detects the device,
it never connects.  Perhaps we should file a separate bug though.

The problem is that coldplug "comes up" before "modules.conf" is being
generated from the modules.d (and other) content. I would consider this as a
bug.

ok, people, let's take this discussion to bug #142560 instead.  I've added the
two of you to cc there.
