Bug 138162 – ipw3945d is not bound on module like mentioned in einfo using testing system

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 129047
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Florian Manschwetus 2006-06-27 02:12:53 UTC]

install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945; sleep 0.5; /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet
remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945

in /etc/modprobe.conf
are bypassed when udev loads the module, or hibernate skript unloads module

I'm just guessing here, but, maybe udev just calls insmod?

Ok, ipw3945 is loaded before /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 is processed. So I think it is a udev problem.

As I did not like the idea of creating a new script in /etc/init.d/ just to start the regulatory daemon I've worked around it by adding this to the preup function in /etc/conf.d/net:

if [ ${IFACE} == "wlan0" ] && ! ipw3945d --isrunning; then
 einfo "Starting ipw3945 regulatory daemon"
 ipw3945d --quiet
 sleep 3
fi

That works fine for me.
