Description:   Opened: 2007-02-15 19:44 0000 
With ipw3945-1.2.0 and kernel 2.6.19-r5 (deprecated sysfs stuff off), I get an
error when trying to run /sbin/ipw3945d as root by hand that it can't find my
hardware. Oddly, strace shows that it seems to look in the driver directory for
a file "cmd" (which isn't there), look in the device directory for this file
(which it finds), read some data, and then report that the hardware wasn't
found. Oddly, the older ipw3945d, which is not allowed by the DEPEND on
ipw3945-1.2.0, seems to work fine (although I've got an unrelated problem with
ipw3945-1.2.0).


Reproducible: Always

Reopen with some logs output and kernel .config, we really can't guess.

Added .config and strace

Could you please try it w/ ipw3945-1.2.1 and reopen this bug if it still
doesn't recognize your hardware ?

Everything seems to be the same with ipw3945-1.2.1; ipw3945d-1.7.22 doesn't
work, and ipw3945d-1.7.18 works fine. I might be able to identify what's going
wrong if I had an strace of it working or how it expects the sysfs stuff to
look.

I've actually now changed to iwlwifi, so this is no longer particularly
interesting for me, although I'd still be happy to test things if it would
help.

------- Comment #8 From Jan Kundrát 2007-12-05 17:03:52 0000 ------- 
If this still doesn't work with net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2,
net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r5 and net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.2, please report
this bug upstream to http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/ , but I guess they will
ask you to stick with working iwlwifi.

Thanks for your report, but we can't do anything about possible bug in real
driver, sorry.
