[ltp] Wireless no longer shows up as eth1 on Z61t (9443-4GG)

[Florian Reitmeir]

Hi,

i had a similar problem a few days ago, but the cause was, i mixed the new
iwl3945 with the old ipw3945 driver.. 
i had the mac802xx modules loaded while trying to load the ipw3945 driver.

Then.. the module loaded, but didn't do anything.. (not even turn on the
wireless light). Removing the modules at runtime did solve the problem.
