the bug occurs if ipw2200 module is unloaded when the file /sys/class/net/ethN/device/power/state contains the state 2 (I think it is a sort of suspend). This state is changed when I hit my laptop wireless hotkey. when I try to do "modprobe ipw2200" the module won't load because of this error -5.
the proble is that when the module is unloaded I havo no more the directory /sys/class/net/ethN/device/power/ and so re-hitting the hotkey have no effect. I should manually go to the directory pointed by that symlink, which is /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:02.0/power and chance status to 0. after this actions the module will load. But it's not normal in my opinion. note that when suspending the module gets unloaded, and if it had been switched off pressing the hotkey (and not using the decumented method, which is the file /sys/class/net/ethN/device/rf_kill) this problem will occur! -- ipw2200 module can't be reloaded if its status was set to 2 https://launchpad.net/bugs/42387 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
