Comment (by anevilyak):
Replying to [comment:10 taos]:
> Does this unloading/reloading issue only affect the ipw2100 driver, or
will executing the script also result in a visit to KDL on systems with
different hardware that need firmware installed (e.g. iprowifixxxx,
ralinkwifi, etc)? Some of the other firmware files must be first
downloaded (difficult if you don't have a working network connection after
booting in safe mode). IIRC, ipw2100 is one of the few native non-BSD
network drivers, could this explain a different behaviour when
unloading/reloading (assuming the other drivers aren't affected)?
Without more information it's difficult to ascertain if this is a bug in a
specific driver, multiple drivers, or in the kernel's driver reloading
functionality, so that one can't really be answered at this point.
Furthermore, it'd only impact systems where the driver finds any supported
hardware at all, since it otherwise wouldn't get as far as installing an
interrupt handler.
