           Summary: ipw3945d --quiet doesn't run.....
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: roeland@xxxxxxxxxxx

this might be a diplicate of other bugs but none of them seems to have resulted
in a final fix.

Hardware: Acer 5684WLMIb using the intel IPW3945 wireless interface.

I am using ifup. NetworkManager doesn't seem to work at all for me but that may
be  
due to this bug.

eth0 is the GBit interface; eth1 is the wireless interface. I noticed on two
similar installed (same) laptops that the wireless part doesn't work.

Debugging, I found out that modprobe -r ipw3945; modprobe ipw345 helps
iwconfig, ifconfig and ifup to find the interface and then, manual
configuration of the wireless parameters will end up in a working wireless
connection.

 started looking at the bugzila stuff and found that others also found the
reloading of the interface works. Further looking at it, I found that what
doesn't get loaded is the ipw3945d --quiet; I tested it by executing
/lib/udev/ipw3945d.sh script and yes, wireless works (after again manually
eeding the parameters).

So, for whatever reason, the script doesn't get executed, causing ipw3945d not
to load.
