Bug Description
Binary package hint: module-init-tools
Module-init-tools 3.12-1ubuntu5 introduced a change which automatically passed the 11n_disable=1 option to iwl3945. The iwl3945 module doesn't support this option (as 802.11n is disabled by default). Hence iwl3945 fails to load with a simple message:
iwl3945: Unknown option: 11n_disable
A temporary workaround is to remove /etc/modprobe.
