Description of problem: "iwlist eth1 scan" gives me "The interface doesn't support scanning" when acpid and cpuspeed are on. When I disable them and reboot, it works fine. (ipw2100) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.i686.rpm IPW2100 FW 1.3 Notebook PackBell Easynote E5154 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot with acpid and cpuspeed on 2.Open shell 3.iwlist eth1 scan Actual results: Not scanning Expected results: Should scan Additional info:
Correction: How reproducible: Sometimes Fault occurred after booting yesterday, then some time later after manually stop/starting acpid/cpuspeed I could not reproduce it anymore; not even after another reboot. Strange.
Got tricked by another bug %-) At each reboot, my wireless interface is randomly assigned one of the two interface names eth0, eth1. This is although I have the following in my modprobe.conf (default): alias eth0 via-rhine alias eth1 ipw2100 I wrote a separate bug report for it (Bug 188454).
