Summary: wirelessapplet causes a modprobe when updating
statistics if wireless card not inserted
Description:
After removing a wireless card, the periodic statistics update will cause
the kernel module autoloader to attempt to load a module for the device (in
my case, "eth0"). Since the card isn't inserted (and in addition,
/etc/modules.conf doesn't have eth0 aliased to any specific module), the
modprobe fails. When the update frequency is set to 1 second, the repeated
modprobes slow my iPAQ down too much, and I have to reboot (or reinsert the
wireless card) to regain responsiveness.
