The thing you describe may happen if your /var/run/ipw3945d directory
is writeable already when udev starts the daemon. Then it is started
early, but later /etc/rcS.d/S36mountall-bootclean.sh is run, which
cleans out the /var/run directory. So the pid file gets lost, and
daemon is fired up again when S39ipw3945d script is run. So, what is
your setup? Why would /var be writeable early in the boot process?
It must be some local customization, because by now quite a few people
have been using it, and nobody complained of anything like that :-).
Best regards,
Jurij,
You are right, /var is writeable when the daemon is started from udev.
But i have no idea why... As far as I know, I'm running a standard
debian testing (except kernel).
The only thing I could think of that's not standard in my install is
that i was running bootlogd. I thought bootlogd was mounting /var early
to be able to write its log in /var/log/, but I turned it off, and it
still mounts /dev/sda1 before udev is starting ipw3945d.

Any idea why this is happening?
