Bug#401692: Can the daemon be started without root privileges?

[Guido Trotter <ultrotter@debian.org>]

Package: ipw3945d
Version: 1.7.22-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi, ipw3945d documentation says it can work in non-root mode and
provides examples for that... Can the debian package be done so it by
default adds an unprivileged ipw3945d and runs the daemon under it?

Thanks,

Guido
