Hi,Chances are it is a matter of the environment during boot processing versus under your root logon.
I own a notebook that has an Intel 3945ABG wireless network adapter. For
this I use the ipw3945 kernel module from ATrpms. To operate properly,
after loading the kernel module a daemon (ipw3945d) has to be started.
According to the documentation this is done by adding the following
lines to /etc/modprobe.conf:
install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945; \
sleep 0.5; /usr/local/sbin/ipw3945d --timeout=-1 --quiet
This works fine when I load the module manually via "modprobe ipw3945".
At boot time the module gets loaded but the daemon does not get started.
I also tested the following line in /etc/modprobe.conf (instead of the
other one):
install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945; \
touch /test
It is probably failing to execute the sleep and never getting to the daemon.
Use fully qualified paths for executables:
install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945; \
/bin/sleep 0.5; /usr/local/sbin/ipw3945d --timeout=-1 --quiet
install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945; \
/bin/touch /test
