I think the problem is related to baselayout's service hotplug. Becuase when loading the module he was trying to associate to whatever network, if it couldn't it would turn off radio. I've put RC_HOTPLUG and COLDPLUG to "no" and now it doesn't happen anymore. I have no wireless configuration file active. I saw this just some minutes ago, when I tried kernel 2.6.19 with net-wireless/ipw3945-1.1.0-r1. But this version worked before with kernel 2.6.18. I upgraded to net-wireless/ipw3945-1.1.2 (which is still hard-masked) and it works with kernel 2.6.19. Don't know if this is a coincidence though.

Patrick, could you please unmerge net-wireless/ieee80211 and your current kernel, remove the remaining stuff from /usr/src, remerge the kernel sources, configure them, make them and remerge the current (hard-masked) ipw3945-1.1.3-r2 ?

OK, it's =ipw3945-1.2.0 now and make sure you use the ~arch'ed ipw3945-ucode too. |
