Quoting the docu:

| Now, when you run modprobe it will load the module (and any dependencies, 
| such as ieee80211.ko) and modprobe -r will remove the module.  The next 
| step is to automate the launching and unloading of the regulatory 
| daemon.  To do this, you typically place the following two lines into 
| your /etc/modprobe.conf or into a new file /etc/modules.d/ipw3945:
| 
|         # echo install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 ; \
| sleep 0.5 ; /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet >> /etc/modules.d/ipw3945
| 
|         # echo remove ipw3945  /sbin/ipw3945d --kill ; \
| /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945 >> /etc/modules.d/ipw3945
| 
| NOTE:  The \ above is to continue the entered line to the next line (the 
| lines added to the file are wider than 80 columns and so would wrap)
