Bug#448479: ipw3945d: ipw3945 rmmodable on newer kernel ?

[Nicolas Caval <nicolas.caval@orange.fr>]

Package: ipw3945d
Version: 1.7.22-5
Followup-For: Bug #448479

I usually compile my kernel with make-kpkg and install modules with m-a.

with my older 2.6.22.6 kernel installation the module isn't rmmodable when
ipw3945d is started.
but now with my latest 2.6.23.1, the reference count is still 0 when ipw3945
is started. both modules have been compiled from  the same version of
ipw3945-source. trying with or without the killswitch yield the same results.

Now, i'm going to test this using a 2.6.22.11 kernel.
