Package: ipw3945d
Version: 1.7.22-5
Severity: important

When removing the ipw3945 module with rmmod 
(and not with modprobe -r like people should)
the ipw3945d is not stopped. So it fills the log with lines like :

2007-10-29 11:42:35: ERROR: opening
'/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945/0000:0c:00.0/cmd':
No such file or directory (2)
2007-10-29 11:42:35: ERROR: Setting INIT state failed.
2007-10-29 11:42:35: ERROR: opening
'/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945/0000:0c:00.0/cmd':
No such file or directory (2)
2007-10-29 11:42:35: ERROR: packet read failed: -2

The size of the log file grow rapidly, in 3 seconds it has written 12 MiB of
logs. With a sufficient amount of time, it can fill the partition it's in.

Step to reproduce :
- start the daemon and load the module.
- be prepared to have /var/log/ipw3945 filled up
- rmmod ipw3945
- watch the size of the log.
- stop the daemon

my / partition was filled up because of this.

The ipw3945d package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/475684 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
