What did install /etc/modules.d/ipw2200?

Comment 2 Alex Barker 2009-04-23 01:41:25 UTC

This file was probably created manually to set crypto or led options for the driver long ago.  Moving the file to modprobe.d has solved the problem for me.

Comment 3 Luis Vitorio Cargnini 2009-04-23 01:48:52 UTC

someone has more info about this ?
This module was created originally before the kernel has native support for this device driver. Nowadays since this modules is included in the kernel tree, this script possess the functionality to pass some parameters to udev only this.
