Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi 3945 debug parameter should be writable via sysfs

Is there any reason why the debug parameter in the iwlwifi driver
should be read-only?

(Patch inlined and attached since I'm sure it will get whitespace
broken).


The debug parameter of the Intel 3945ABG driver should be writable
via sysfs.
