To do so, add the following options to /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias wlan0 iwlagn
options iwlagn swcrypto50=1 swcrypto=1
(where wlan0 is the default interface name of the first Intel WiFi Link device)

The following note applies to PowerPC Architectures:
• The size of the PPC kernel image is too large for OpenFirmware to support. Consequently, network
booting will fail, resulting in the following error message:
Please wait, loading kernel...
/pci@8000000f8000000/ide@4,1/disk@0:2,vmlinux-anaconda: No such file or directory
boot:
To work around this:
1. Boot to the OpenFirmware prompt, by pressing the '8' key when the IBM splash screen is
displayed.
2. Run the following command:
setenv real-base 2000000
3. Boot into System Managment Services (SMS) with the command:
0> dev -/packages/gui obe

5.15. kexec-tools
kexec-tools provides the /sbin/kexec binary that facilitates a new kernel to boot using the kernel's
kexec feature either on a normal or a panic reboot. This package contains the /sbin/kexec binary and
ancillary utilities that together form the userspace component of the kernel's kexec feature
• Executing kdump on an IBM Bladecenter QS21 or QS22 configured with NFS root will fail. To avoid
this, specify an NFS dump target in /etc/kdump.conf.
• Some forcedeth based devices may encounter difficulty accessing memory above 4GB during
operation in a kdump kernel. To work around this issue, add the following line to the /etc/
sysconfig/kdump file:
KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND="dma_64bit=0"
