Bug#405270: machine hangs after loading ipw3945d

[Michael Setzer <michael.setzer@celeborn.de>]

Package: ipw3945d
Version: 1.7.22-3
Severity: normal

Hi there,

on my DELL Inspiron 6400 the boot process hangs after executing
/etc/init.d/ipw3945d when the kill switch is on (that means radio has
been disabled).

Even when I turn the radio on again (set kill switch to off) the system
does not continue booting. Only turning off helps.

When the radio is on while booting the system just starts normally.

Regards,

Michael
