hi guys,
i'm trying to configure the intel pro wireless 3945 network card to work
on my machine. i installed the ieee80211 stack, the ipw3945 driver, the
firmware and also the binary daemon.
when started from the installation directory (as suggested for testing)
everything works fine - the card comes up and is visible in
iwconfig eth1
however, i wanted it to be set up on boot and followed the instructions:
1) put ipw3945 to /etc/modules
2) created /etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945 file with
install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945; \
sleep 0.5; /usr/local/sbin/ipw3945d --timeout=-1 --quiet
remove ipw3945 /usr/local/sbin/ipw3945d --kill; \
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945
on boot, card is recognized
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, 1.1.14
ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation

ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux,
1.1.0-pre2d
ipw3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
however iwconfig eth1 returns
eth1 No such device
the problem is that the /usr/local/sbin/ipw3945d is not executed by
modprobe. could anybody please tell me where is the problem? i don't see
any typo in the modprobe.d file. is there any problem with the format?
when i start the daemon manually, everything works like a charm...
thank you in advance. with best regards,
