Hi John, this is just to inform you: With 2.6.30-rc1-git3 there is now a patch in upstream solving the problem with wireless kernel modules not to work properly. It seems there was an overlapping with Andreas Schwab's "module: fix try_then_request_module" patch [2] in Rusty's "linux-2.6-module-and-param" GIT branch, both patches fix the same issue affecting different Linux kernel modules (beyond wireless hardware) not to work. That means your revert-patch in [3] is obsolete and as you expected a fix will be in "-rc2" :-). Kind Regards, Sedat P.S.: * [1] and [2] are identical. * [1], [2] and [3] fix the same issue. * Here on my laptop iwl3945-driver works fine with all three patches (tested).
