Your soln does not work for me, but we do have differences (see below) What does work is when I BOTH autoload ipw3945 and have ip23945d in the boot runlevel (the first fails, but seems necessary for the second to succeed). > I am using gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2 and activated the following > option in the kernel: I am behind here using 2.6.20-gentoo-r7.

I read your message as saying that without the script, the wireless lan would start automatically. This does not happen for me. > I hope these information may help you. Indeed, quite helpful. When I upgrade the kernel, which you may have inspired me to do right now, I will remove both the autoload and daemon start in the boot runlevel. Thanks, allan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
