Description From Damiano Venturin 2008-02-03 17:28:08

On Ubuntu gutsy I found a little issue while following this guide:
http://intellinuxwireless.org/index.php?p=iwlwifi&n=HOWTO-iwlwifi

I found it was necessary to change #/bin/sh to #/bin/sh in 2 scripts

I wrote a mini howto here:

I hope it will help

Thank you very much. Our scripts mistakenly assumes that /bin/sh points to (or 
is) bash ... ubuntu points to dash so that causes the failure.

Your recommended fix is now included in our repository at 
http://intellinuxwireless.org/repos/?p=iwlwifi.git;a=summary

With the driver now included upstream it is not clear if/when we will create a 
new release. This fix will surely be included in any upcoming release.

We have decided to create a new release to address this problem. Could you 
please verify the fix in release 1.2.25? Please update this bug with your 
findings.
