Bug Description
The iwlwifi team recently released version 1.0 of the iwlwifi driver for IPW3945 and IPW4965 wireless cards. A recent update included version 0.42 of the driver but 1.0 was released a couple of weeks later.
The current ucode for iwl3945 is 2.14.4
The current ucode for iwl4965 is 4.44.17
Thanks!

FWIW, I gave iwl3945 a try on my Thinkpad X60s with 3945 wireless. It works OK for a while on my wireless network (using WEP), but I see lots of
iwl3945: REPLY_ADD_STA failed
in my kernel log, and then after a few hours the network dies and I see
iwl3945: ipw going down
Freeing alive inet6 address eaa13200
iwl3945: ipw going down
at that point, trying to do "modprobe -r iwl3945" gets stuck with an endless stream of
unregister_ netdevice: waiting for wlan0 to become free. Usage count = 1
