For what it's worth, it looks like I'm seeing the same problem that Seth de I'Isle reports.
I upgraded to Hardy, and under 2.6.24-12 I have been completely unable to use my wireless.
iwconfig accurately lists wlan 0 as a wireless extension (and wmaster0 with NO wireless extension), and wicd sniffs out the local available wireless networks BUT cannot connect.

I've tried a variety of fixes I've seen, including:
1. building the latest compat-wireless driver (1.2.26k)
2. switching to 'wicd' from knetworkmanager/network manager
3. removing the /etc/udev/rules/70-persistent-net.rules or commenting out the 3945 line.

Nothing works. Regardless of how I comment or modify #3, the file is recreated with a new
3945 line. The newer driver seemed to have zero effect.

In all cases, I NEVER see my wireless LED indicator come on, ever. There is no indication of
trouble from /var/log/messages or dmesg.

I have had zero success in getting wireless to work. I'll try anything at this point.
