Description Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2005-12-01 18:37:58 UTC 
Vaio vgn-fs115b, 2 network interfaces:
 - e100, LAN
 - ipw2200, WLAN
both configured with "STARTMODE=managed".

i rmmod ipw2200 to save energy.
If i start NM afterwards, it dies immediately:

linux:/home/testuser # rmmod ipw2200
linux:/home/testuser # NetworkManager  --no-daemon
NetworkManager: <information>   starting...
Segmentation fault

Can you test if this is a dupe of #134178, which is now fixed (you want packages 0.5.1cvs20051201-01 or later).

If not, is there a difference if you want ~10 seconds between the rmmod and starting NM?
Comment 2 Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2005-12-02 10:46:33 UTC 
NetworkManager-0.5.1cvs20051201-1 no longer has this problem, although i get strange messages at start, with ipw2200 unloaded:
linux:/home/testuser # NetworkManager --no-daemon
NetworkManager: <information>   starting...
NetworkManager: <information>   eth1: Driver 'ipw2200' does not support carrier detection.
        You must switch to it manually.
NetworkManager: <information>   nm_device_new(): waiting for device's worker thread to start
NetworkManager: <information>   nm_device_new(): device's worker thread started, continuing.
NetworkManager: <information>   Now managing wired device 'eth1'.
NetworkManager: <information>   Deactivating device eth1.

How does he know it's ipw2200? But that's not my business :-)

so it works for me now.
