(Get the code!)
kcheck was working just fine but sadly I have to say that the results
were not good :(.
I loaded mac80211 and iwl3945 and I couldn't even get my system to
recognize the wireless-thingy, before in the standard kernel for
Ubuntu 8.04.1 the system did recognize the wireless-thingy. The
output from dmesg:
[ 184.025780] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network

[ 184.043663] iwl3945: probe of 0000:0b:00.0 failed with error -5
Perhaps there were some step that I missed?

The most important thing is that for iwl3945 to work, mac80211 needs to be enabled (dont remember where that option is, somewhere under networking). Save the configuration, close the window, and then go take a coffee break while the kernel compiles. After you install it, you will probably have to reinstall graphics card drivers.
