See
the INSTALL document for information on installing the driver.
Once
installed, a typical method for launching the driver and the
regulatory
daemon is via the load script provided in the source package:
#
./load debug=0x43fff <--- You need to be root for this
NOTE:
You will not be able to rmmod the driver so long as the
ipw3945d
daemon is running.
If
you followed the steps of the INSTALL document to set up your
modprobe.conf,
you can load the module by simply running:
#
modprobe ipw3945 <--- You need to be root for this
If
you did not configure your modprobe.conf to automatically launch the
regulatory
daemon (see INSTALL), you must do so manually after loading
the
module:
#
/sbin/ipw3945d <--- You need to be root for this*
*
See README.ipw3945d (provided in the regulatory daemon package) for
information
on how to configure the system to run the regulatory
daemon
as a non-root user.
If
you want to unload the module (and kill the deamon as well), you can
simply
use the unload script:
#
./unload <--- You need to be root for this
or
likewise if you configured modprobe.conf:
#
modprobe -r ipw3945 <--- You need to be root for this
If
you did not configure modprobe.conf to unload the regulatory daemon
and
are not using the unload script, you need to kill the regulatory
daemon
before you will be able to unload the module:
#
/sbin/ipw3945d --kill <--- You need to be root for this
#
modprobe -r ipw3945
