If I unload the ipw2200 module, hal loads. The strace output shows that hal is diddling around with the sysfs entries for the ipw2200 pci device when it blows. I haven't spent enough time gathering initial info to be able to determine if its an ipw2200 problem or a hal problem to be ready to send up a bug report. When I get back to states if it hasn't resolved itself with newer versions of both items, I'll have to do that. -- David Hollis <dhollis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
