Hi,

Decided to test out .30-rc1, but I've run into some bugs.
My intel 3945 wireless card doesn't work. Bellow is the relevant portions of dmesg The full dmesg and config can be found at: http://jdserver.homelinux.org/bugreports/003/

I assume this is a regression? 2.6.29 was OK?

i have the same problem. 2.6.29 was fine, 2.6.30-rc1 doesn't work. i tried applying the above mentioned patch but it didn't make any difference. at any rate, i have iwl3945 compiled in the kernel and not as a module and i don't use wep. this is the relevant part from syslog:

Obviously your problem is different. The one I reported was due to problems loading modules.

If you have the Linux-2.6 git tree, please do a bisection. In any case, you should post this as a separate regression. Your problem will get lost in this thread.

The patch did not work, or at least I don't have wireless auto-loaded. The module iwl3945 is loaded once I login, but the network monitor app shows no wireless support. What does work is:

modprob -r iwl3945
modprob -i iwl3945

I have another problem where modules aren't loading correctly and I can't load my flash disk. The load/unload sequence works in that case too. Could this all be related to that "async" thing, that was added that I've seen be the cause of other bugs that are being reported?
