iwl3945 failed to register network device archlinux

Hi, i just install ArchLinux on laptop dell 1420 i follow the tutorials of the official documentations.

But i hace a small problem with the wireless. My laptop have an Intel 3945 wifi card so i install teh module iwl-3945-udev, i dont add this module in rc.conf file becouse this module in now part of the kernel... but i doesnt owrk.. so i check error log and i found this:

Feb  9 21:54:24 pichirilo iwl3945: Failed to register network device (error -12)

And the rc.conf is:

#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
#

LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
USEDIRECTISA="no"
TIMEZONE="Canada/Pacific"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"

MODULES=(tg3 mac80211 snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep iwl3945 snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore)

USELVM="no"

HOSTNAME="pichirilo"

eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0,wlan0)

ROUTES=(!gateway)

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond alsa hal fam kdm)

i try to add the module manually but i have the same result...

any idea ???

Thanks

Re: iwl3945 failed to register network device archlinux

just to verify, you installed the package iwlwifi-3945-ucode?  you had the name slightly different in your post.  Probably not the problem, but no harm in asking.

Re: iwl3945 failed to register network device archlinux

Can you retry without the mac80211 module in rc.conf ?
That one is normally built inside the kernel so no need to add it.

Re: iwl3945 failed to register network device archlinux

Can this help ? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_Inspiron_1420 i.e. can you try to remove the tg3 module too ?
According to the wiki it should also be loaded automatically.

...just trying to find what interferes with your iwl3945 module.

You should also insert !pcspkr in your rc.conf to avoid this problem:

Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...

Re: iwl3945 failed to register network device archlinux

from your iwconfig output, wlan0 interface appears. This shows your wireless module is setup correctly. I believe you will need to set WEP or WPA to connect to your router...

Re: iwl3945 failed to register network device archlinux

I am able to connect to router but not on bootup...if you check the logs in order the first iwconfig wlan is not present......then i remove the module and readd again then it works...

Re: iwl3945 failed to register network device archlinux

I add this to /etc/rc.local

#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/rc.local: Local multi-user startup script.
#

hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda
modprobe -r iwl3945
modprobe iwl3945

And now everithing works... i know this is not the best solution but it works...
