I'm still doing some tests... I've managed to turn on the Wifi interface
without getting this message, but I had to redo my .config, adding some
more options. Upgrading by using previous .config doesn't seem to be enough
to keep iw3945 working. You need to enable :
"Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN"

Now, I can associate, I can retrieve an IP address with DHCP and I can ping
the default GW (the AP in my case). But it seems something still odd with
routing...

This is fixed. Please consider it as a user-bug if you want.
Anyway, the fix was to enable :

"Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN"

in addition to the already enabled support for the iwl3945.
Not sure why we now need to enable both, but this solved the problem
for me.
Wifi is now fully functional.

Regards,
Paul

Excuse me, but didn't I tell you there's NO HOPE for the survival of
