[TriLUG] Wireless drivers - FC6 ipw3945

[Roy Vestal]

Ok, so I've got a T60 and i've followed the install instructions for FC6 
(FC7 doesn't work right for some reason and I don't have time to 
troubleshoot it now).  I used the install guide from 
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Fedora_Core_6_on_a_ThinkPad_T60.

Part of the how-to says to install the ipw3945 drivers from atrpms...it 
worked sorta.

What I have to do is rmmod iwlwifi, rmmod ipw3945, then modprobe 
ipw3945, and restart wpa_supplicant. Once that's done, wireless is happy.

My question: How do I keep iwl3945 from starting at boot up? It's not 
listed in /etc/modprobe.conf?

/etc/modprobe.conf:

    alias eth0 e1000
    alias scsi_hostadapter ahci
    alias scsi_hostadapter1 usb-storage
    alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
    options snd-card-0 index=0 
    options snd-hda-intel index=0 
    remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 ||
    : ; }; /sbin /modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
    install ipw3945 { ( /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945;
    /sbin/ipw3945d ) >/ dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }
    remove ipw3945 { /sbin/ipw3945d --kill >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
    /sbin/modprobe --ignore-remove -r ipw3945
    alias eth1 ipw3945
