Bug#408928: ipw3945d: please allow /var/run as tmpfs

[Jurij Smakov]

Hi Luca,

Thanks for the report. I've prepared a new version of ipw3945d which 
should handle the /var/run on tmpfs properly. I would appreciate if 
you could test it and confirm that it works ok in your setup. You
can download the source package and the deb from

http://www.wooyd.org/debian/ipw3945d/

Thanks,

Bug#408928: ipw3945d: please allow /var/run as tmpfs

[Luca Capello]

Package: ipw3945d
Version: 1.7.22-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello,

since I use a tmpfs for my /var/run [1], ipw3945d cannot start
anymore, because /var/run/ipw3945d doesn't exist.  The following patch
solves the problem (similar to bugs #390506 [2] and # [3]):
