iwl4965 detection problem

[Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com>]

Hi,

I just got my hands on a new Toshiba Portege R500 laptop, which comes
with the Intel 4965 chip in it. After installing the latest Fedora Core
8 test 3 on it, and updating the kernel I am still seeing a problem with
detection of the 4965 in my laptop.

Fedora Core 8 test 3 is based on a 2.6.23.1 kernel.

Basically on the first load of the iwl4965 module no interface is
detected, but if I rmmod and modprobe it again, it shows up and works
just fine.

I haven't yet tried the latest kernel.org tree on this box, but looking
through the git log, I don't see any commits that look like they were
addressing this problem.

Is this a problem you have heard about before? Anything information I
can provide to help?

I have attached the lspci -vv entry for this device, as well as the
dmesg output.

Cheers,
Jes
