I have noticed that with recent versions (maybe 0.10 and higher) of the
Intel Wireless ipw2200 driver, haldaemon dies on startup.  If I unload
the ipw2200 module, hal loads.  The strace output shows that hal is
diddling around with the sysfs entries for the ipw2200 pci device when
it blows.  I haven't spent enough time gathering initial info to be able
to determine if its an ipw2200 problem or a hal problem to be ready to
send up a bug report.  When I get back to states if it hasn't resolved
itself with newer versions of both items, I'll have to do that.
