Surely they must have plans to make this possible in a config file? Anyway it
works. Thx.
Ok, here is the 'correct' way to do it (I was too lazy to figure it
out until now...)
In /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.alias, you will find lines for the
ipw adapter liike this (run depmod -a to regenerate this file after
following my previous advice)
alias pci:v00008086d00004222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ipw3945
alias pci:v00008086d00004227sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ipw3945
Add those same lines to a file in /etc/modules.d/. I used ipw3945,
you will probably want ipw2100:
grep ipw /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.alias >>/etc/modules.d/ipw3945
Now edit the /etc/modules.d/ file and change the last setting from
ipw3945/ipw2100 to 'off':
carcharias rjf # grep alias /etc/modules.d/ipw3945
alias pci:v00008086d00004222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off
alias pci:v00008086d00004227sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off
Now run modules-update, and udev should no longer load the module for
the ipw adapater.
HTH,
-Richard
