I tried "yum install iwl\*" and it installed the microcode for the 3945 and 5100 cards (in addition to the 4965 microcode which was already installed), but this didn't fix the problem. My /etc/modprobe.conf now contains only these three lines:

Also, neither with the default package nor the one from RPMforge is there any microcode in /etc/firmware (it's all in /lib/firmware ) -- I've tried creating a link, but it doesn't help.

Do you see something related to iwlagn or firmware in /var/log/messages
or dmesg?
Does it help, if you try to (re-)configure the WLAN card with
"system-config-network"? In system-config-network you can try to remove
the settings for wlan0 and create a new WLAN device.
