I am having the same problem on my laptop: WLAN works randomly on boot. When it does work, this is what the system log says:

Nov 16 22:44:51 david-laptop kernel: [ 27.903622] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19

But it says the following when I boot up and WLAN doesn't work:
