Very odd.  My laptop has this card and works just fine under sl6.3
x86_64.  I'm using it as I type now.  Could this be a firmware issue?
I seem to recall loading firmware a long time ago for this card (the
timestamp on the file is Apr 23  2009 and the details below), but I did
a clean install on this system a few months ago.
iwl3945 0000:0c:00.0: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 3945ABG
iwl3945 0000:0c:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode
iwl3945 0000:0c:00.0: loaded firmware version 15.32.2.9
