Ubuntu 8.04 + iwl3945 (with linux-backports-modules-hardy) + all updates
iwl3945 works but only with version 1.2.25 (the one backported). 1.2.0 (the one in stock kernel) never connects in any combination of wep/wpa/wpa2, hidden/not-hidden essid, or without security. Also 1.2.0 fails to enable the wifi led indicator.
It seems to be a problem with WPN824 routers, but as i told to intellinuxwireless guys i used the same router with the old ipw3945 driver without any problems.
Can you add the old driver as an optional restricted module? ipw3945 is by far less problematic and also support better card status and traffic notification.

with both drivers i get my logs filled with:
Apr 8 08:15:27 pablo-laptop kernel: [ 386.806138] wlan0: RX non-WEP frame, but expected encryption
