Package: ipw3945d
Version: 1.7.22-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
On bootup first of all the ipw3945 module is loaded and few tasks later
the ipw3945d gets started.
But the ipw3945d hasn't enough time to make the WLAN Interface available.
So when networking starts
it fails to bring up wlan.
My suggestion is to add 'sleep 1' at the end of method start_daemon(),
what solves this inconvenience in my case.
start_daemon() {
if have_sys_entries; then
remove_stale_pid
log_daemon_msg "Starting ipw3945 regulatory daemon" "ipw3945d"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --chuid
"${DAEMON_OWNER}" \
--exec "${DAEMON_BINARY}" --pidfile
"${DAEMON_PID_FILE}" \
--oknodo -- --pid-file=${DAEMON_PID_FILE}
--quiet \
--log-file=${DAEMON_LOG_FILE} > /dev/null 2>&1
code=$?
log_end_msg ${code}
else
log_warning_msg "Not starting ipw3945 regulatory daemon, driver not
loaded."
fi
sleep 1;
#^^^^^^^^^^
}
