In my experience, the newer kernel, 2.6.32, is even worse.

I have opened tickets on the intel website (search this thread for intellinuxwireless), but the developers are asking that somebody gives then a log of the iwl3945 compiled with debug mode before they'll look at it.

I am a bit disappointed by intel, I have a feeling the developers are actually people from the community who aren't intel employees. I specifically bought a laptop with an intel card because they work(ed) well on Linux, I expect a hardware vendor to put some effort to make a good driver for their piece of hardware if they want my money.

I have compiled a iwl3945.ko with the debug option, but it won't load:
FATAL: Error inserting iwl3945 (/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko): Invalid module format
I don't have a lot of time on my hands right now, I am hoping to be able to get to it in a few weeks.
