Description James Ogley 2007-08-16 17:02:06 UTC 
As $SUMMARY suggests, the iwl3945 module is not loaded at boot time.  When I load it manually, NetworkManager still can't see it or use the interface.

When I first installed the package, replacing *ipw3945*, it worked, think it stopped with the previous Factory update.

messages extract from loading it manually and starting the network service:

Comment 1 Joachim Gleissner 2007-08-16 18:28:36 UTC 
Huh, your interface wmaster0 gets renamed to eth0, that shouldn't happen anymore. You probably can help yourself by removing the bogus entries from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. OTOH, Christian might be interested in the file for debugging purposes. Christian?
Comment 2 James Ogley 2007-08-19 17:09:41 UTC 
Created attachment 158353 [details]
70-persistent-net.rules

Attached anyway, in case it helps.

Clearing that certainly meant that when the module is loaded it works fine but it's still not detected so I had to load it manually.
Comment 3 Kay Sievers 2007-08-30 15:16:19 UTC 
What does:
  grep . /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/modalias
print?

What does:
  modinfo iwl3945 | grep alias
print?

This is before loading the module.
