I have to delete orinoco_pci. Otherwise both hostap_pci and orinoco_pci are loaded at boot. Intresiting thing is (according to dmesg) that the orinoco_pci is loaded first and then hostap_pci. Anyhow, finally lsmod shows that no orinoco* modules has been loaded. Who unloads them, does loading another module (hostap_pci) for same device cause that? orinoco 0.15rc2 (David Gibson , Pavel Roskin , et al) orinoco_pci 0.15rc2 (Pavel Roskin , David Gibson & Jean Tour eth2: WEP supported, 104-bit key eth2: MAC address 00:0E:6A:6A:6A:6A eth2: Station name "Prism I" eth2: ready ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:0a.0 disabled e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex eth1: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team Netfilter messages via NETLINK v0.30. ip_conntrack version 2.3 (4095 buckets, 32760 max) - 236 bytes per conntrack u32 classifier Perfomance counters on OLD policer on input device check on Ingress scheduler: Classifier actions prefered over netfilter ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' hostap_pci: 0.4.4-kernel (Jouni Malinen ) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:0a.0[A] -> Link [LNKG] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 hostap_pci: Registered netdevice wifi0 wifi0: Original COR value: 0x50 prism2_hw_init: initialized in 192 ms wifi0: NIC: id=0x8013 v1.0.0 wifi0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.1.1 wifi0: STA: id=0x1f v1.7.4 wifi0: Intersil Prism2.5 PCI: mem=0xdfbff000, irq wifi0: registered netdevice wlan0 Finally I have to delete orinoco_pci to get rid of it. That is not elegant way to handle this. Is there some other method than the delete method to handle this? Why the blacklisting doesn't work any more? Is some feture missing from udev/hotplug that should handle this kind of "many drivers to same hardware" dilemma? o kernel-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4 o hotplug-2004_09_23-7 o udev-058-1.0.FC4.1 I am not suscribed to the list, so please cc. -- Best Regards, Jar ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
