modprobe mystery - application not started

[Lubos Vrbka <lubos.vrbka@gmail.com>]

hi guys,

i'm trying to configure the intel pro wireless 3945 network card to work 
on my machine. i installed the ieee80211 stack, the ipw3945 driver, the 
firmware and also the binary daemon.

when started from the installation directory (as suggested for testing) 
everything works fine - the card comes up and is visible in
	iwconfig eth1
however, i wanted it to be set up on boot and followed the instructions:
1) put ipw3945 to /etc/modules
2) created /etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945 file with

install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945; \
    sleep 0.5; /usr/local/sbin/ipw3945d --timeout=-1 --quiet
remove ipw3945  /usr/local/sbin/ipw3945d --kill; \
    /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945

on boot, card is recognized

ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, 1.1.14
ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation 
<jketreno@linux.intel.com>
ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux, 
1.1.0-pre2d
ipw3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

however iwconfig eth1 returns
eth1      No such device

the problem is that the /usr/local/sbin/ipw3945d is not executed by 
modprobe. could anybody please tell me where is the problem? i don't see 
any typo in the modprobe.d file. is there any problem with the format?

when i start the daemon manually, everything works like a charm...

thank you in advance. with best regards,
