Hi,

Seeing that iwl3945 is now merged, I decided to switch my x60 to use
that instead of ipw3945. That would leave me with zero kernel
dependencies.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Loading the module reveals the device:

iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for
Linux, 1.1.17ks
iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64
iwl3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
iwl3945: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 23 802.11a channels
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-3945-rs'

# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"  
          Mode:Managed  Channel:0  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Tx-Power=0 dBm   
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B   
          Encryption key:XXXX-XXXX-XX
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

and iwconfig sees it, essid/enc settings are fine, but I don't get a
link.
