I'm guessing that perhaps the issue you're having is that the reg daemon isn't getting started properly on boot? I've got nothing in /etc/modprobe.conf (or modprobe.d/) for the module and it's loading automatically for me using NetworkManager. (I used the network service in FC5 and had that working automatically as well.) To get the daemon started you can add it to /etc/rc.local or you can create an init script that'll all you to control it like any other service. For an example of such an initscript, see the rpmforge.net package[1]. If you put this in /etc/init.d/ipw3945d and make it executable you can then add it using chkconfig like so # chkconfig --add ipw3945d That should make the daemon start automatically at boot time.
