Description:
The newest ipw3945d package (from testing, I have no idea if previous versions did the same) after installation
prints this message:

AUTOMATIC DAEMON LOADING VIA MODPROBE
==> To do this, you typically place the following two lines into your
==> /etc/modprobe.conf:
==> echo install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 ; ==> sleep 0.5 ; /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet >> /etc/modprobe.conf
==>
==> echo remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill ; ==> /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945 >> /etc/modprobe.conf

I think it should tell the user to do:
echo "install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 ; sleep 0.5 ; /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
echo "remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill ; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945" >> /etc/modprobe.conf

(With " ", and no '==>' - which could overwrite /sbin/modprobe)
This task depends upon

oh sorry about the closure request, i looked at ipw3945 instead of ipw3945d

Is this still an issue then?
Comment by Greg (dolby) - Saturday, 10 May 2008, 10:23 GMT
yes the message appears to be still present

What about the iwlwifi module?
Comment by Jakub Schmidtke (tanis) - Sunday, 15 June 2008, 16:04 GMT
iwlwifi doesn't use separate daemon, and has no separate package, so this bug is not relevant.
