My network card stopped working too. Maybe it is the same problem? modprobe -r ipw3945 gives: 2007-02-12 16:39:23: WARNING: No prior instance running. FATAL: Module ipw3945 is in use. FATAL: Error running remove command for ipw3945 and ps gives: 112 5038 0.0 0.0 1728 376 pts/1 S 16:42 0:00 /sbin/ipw3945d --pid-file=/var/run/ipw3945d/ipw3945d.pid --quiet --log-file=/var/log/ipw3945d/ipw3945d.log There is a file /etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945d which should make sure that ipw3945d is killed before unnloading the module ipw3945, but it doesn't work. The contents of /etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945d: install ipw3945 modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 && /etc/init.d/ipw3945d modprobe-start remove ipw3945 /etc/init.d/ipw3945d modprobe-stop && modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945 Killing ipw3945d manually and then loading it with "modprobe ipw394", loads the module and launches ipw3945. However, ps gives root 5217 0.0 0.0 1724 348 pts/1 S 16:49 0:00 /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet and not "/sbin/ipw3945d --pid-file=/var/run/ipw3945d/ipw3945d.pid --quiet --log-file=/var/log/ipw3945d/ipw3945d.log", as should be the result of "/etc/init.d/ipw3945d modprobe-start" which is the command issued in /etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945d.
