[gentoo-user] ipw3945d no longer starting when wifi switch is set to on with udev-103 (without coldplug now)

[Gabriel Rossetti]

Hello everyone,

I updated my system and the new udev-103 didn't like coldplug (since it
is now able to do it itself). My problem is that now
ipw3945d is no longer started when I switch on the wifi switch on my
laptop, like it was when coldplug was installed. Any
ideas on how to achieve this functionality now?

Thank you,
Gabriel

do you use ipw3945d stable or testing?
it seems the stable release has problems with udev 103, mybe try to use the
testing ipw3945d.
I use testing and i didn´ t had any problems after the update of udev. also
testing comes with an rc-start-script now.

Hello Jakommo,

I use testing (~x86), I see the startup script, but before coldplug took 
care of running it when I switched on my wifi,
I'd like that same convenient way of doing things if possible.

Regards,
Gabriel

I let the script start at bootup and if I need wifi I turn the switch on and
if I'm finished I turn it off and ipw3945d runs all the time if I need it or
not, but I think it doesn't take that much capacity from my system.

I'm using the testing ipw3945d.

I put the init script in my boot runlevel, but I think the magical way of 
doing it (which I'm going to test next time I boot this computer) is to 
put in /etc/conf.d/net:

RC_NEED_{iface}=ipw3945d

AFAICT, this will cause net.{iface} to first start ipw3945d.
