I switched to udev-103 recently, and now when I boot I find that ipw3945d

Any advice?

my /etc/modules.d/ipw3945 file contains the following:

install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 ; sleep 0.2;
/sbin/ipw3945d --quiet
remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill ; sleep 0.2; /sbin/modprobe -r
--ignore-remove ipw3945
alias pci:v00008086d00004222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off
alias pci:v00008086d00004227sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off

The alias lines are necessary to prevent udev from coldplugging the
driver which otherwise would occur at a very early point in the boot
sequence...in fact before /var is mounted on my system.  Without /var
mounted and read-write, ipw3945d cannot start.

I then "/sbin/modprobe ipw3945" in /etc/conf.d/local.start to load the
module near the end of the boot sequence.

Perhaps you need to do something similar?
