I had this same problem on a 3945 on a Dell Inspiron 1420 notebook.
The fix suggested above worked, I added a line saying:
blacklist ipw3945
to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file
and I added another line saying:
iwl3945
to /etc/modules
I would consistantly reproduce the crash within 10 minutes by attempting to copy several gigs of data over the network. With the new module the data transfer works fine.
