Didn't work. :) Yep, that only works for when udev runs /sbin/udev_run_hotplugd. The current 090 udev appears to do two things for a pci 'hotplug' event: 1. /sbin/modprobe pci:v... 2. /sbin/udev_run_hotplugd pci My alias tricks above take care of #1, but you still need blacklist to take care of #2. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Before doing this, try listing the module in /etc/hotplug/blacklist, this is supposed to prevent its automatic loading. -- Neil Bothwick Don't let the computer bugs bite! signature.asc Description: PGP signature

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:v8086d4222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ipw3945 alias pci:v8086d4227sv*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:v8086d4222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off alias pci:v8086d4227sv*sd*bc*sc*i* off Now run modules-update, and udev should no longer load the module for the ipw adapater.
