Bug#458562: firmware-iwlwifi: iwlwifi should conflict with ipw3945d

[Didrik Pinte <dpinte@itae.be>]

Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Severity: normal


Hi,

Running an ipw3945 card in my laptop, I had problems since sometime to make it
work. The old ipw3945 module did not work anymore, so I tried to use the new
iwlwifi driver coming with 2.6.23 and the firmware-iwlwifi.

Because this does not conflict with ipw3945d, the ipw3945 service was always
started on boot time and it was not possible to have the new iwl3945 module
running.

I guess that making the package conflict could be an elegant solution.

I can provide more info it needed.
