On a Dell Inspiron 9400, with the radio kill switch on, the drivers will load fine, but not work. If i turn off the kill switch with the drivers loaded, the system crashes. Same thing if i try to load the drivers with the kill switch off. Sadly, i can't find any error msgs. The message i get before the system freezes is: Mar 18 02:36:39 daedal kernel: ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, 1.1.13 Mar 18 02:36:39 daedal kernel: ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <jketreno@linux.intel.com> Mar 18 02:36:39 daedal kernel: ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.0dmpr Mar 18 02:36:39 daedal kernel: ipw3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation Mar 18 02:36:39 daedal kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:0c:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 Mar 18 02:36:39 daedal kernel: ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection Mar 18 02:36:41 daedal kernel: ipw3945: Detected geography ABG (13 802.11bg channels, 23 802.11a channels) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

What versions of ipw3945d, ipw3945 and ipw3945-ucode?
This might also be of some importance :) daedal log # equery list ipw3945 [ Searching for package 'ipw3945' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.0 (0) [I--] [ ] net-wireless/ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2 (0) [I--] [ ] net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4 (0)
Please don't change those fields.
This should be fixed w/ ipw3945-1.2.1 according to the ChangeLog, please reopen if this shouldn't be the case.
