After reseting BIOS to defaults iwl3945 Wireless can be activated with switch.
I also tried to install linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-17-generic, but after uninstalling them Wireless switch still works without problem, so, I'm not sure if linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-17-generic fixed some things or not :-/

Also I've noticed http://rfswitch.sourceforge.net project (deb packages are available at http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/sidux.com/sidux/debian/pool/main/r/rfswitch/ and http://www.parsix.org/packages/pool/main/r/rfswitch/ ), according to http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1454 rfswitch should help to turn off kill switch
