Upgraded to ipw3945-beyond 1.1.3-2 and the problem still exists.
Comment by James Rayner (iphitus) - Friday, 26 January 2007, 21:46 GMT
have you rebooted after installing 1.1.3-2?
Comment by Raymano Garibaldi (raymano) - Friday, 26 January 2007, 23:32 GMT
Yes. This actually happens when booting. The kernel starts up fine. Then ipw3945d starts, followed by dhcdbd. Here's my DAEMONS line from rc.conf

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal ipw3945d dhcdbd networkmanager kdm cups alsa crond gpm)

As soon as networkmanager starts I get the error I've included in the attached file and everything hangs. I then have to boot into single user mode and bypass ipw3945d daemon startup and everything else works fine.

Currently I have downgraded to ipw3945-beyond 1.1.3-1 and everything works perfectly.

try -3
Comment by Raymano Garibaldi (raymano) - Sunday, 28 January 2007, 01:52 GMT
upgrade to -3 fixed it.

Thanks!

Just one observation. My wireless card used to show up as eth2. Now it's eth1. No big deal on my side. Just wanted to let you know.
Comment by James Rayner (iphitus) - Sunday, 28 January 2007, 04:01 GMT
That's just something with udev and the order that your modules are loaded.

Would you be able to do me a favour and try out some different modules that i'll upload this week and link to here? I'd like to debug what exactly caused the problem on my end.

Thank you for your help,

James

Björn Martensen (baze) requested task to be re-opened:

i sometimes get the same crash with the stock kernel and the following ipw3945 stuff:
$ pacman -Qs ipw3945
local/ipw3945 1.2.0-2
Driver for the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG miniPCI express adapter
local/ipw3945-ucode 1.14.2-1
Intel Centrino Drivers firmware for IPW3945
local/ipw3945d 1.7.22-3
Regulatory daemon for IPW3945

the crash is exactly the same and also occurs when networkmanager is started.
i don't use any unstable versions.
everything is from current and extra.
Comment by Björn Martensen (baze) - Thursday, 19 April 2007, 15:29 GMT
please excuse the noise.. i hadn't added ipw3945 to MODULES=(). after i added it, the kernel panic didn't occur anymore. i don't really like that i have to configure module loading manually, but at least that fixed the problem. if there is a better way to fix that, i'd be glad of course ;)

again, sorry for the noise.
