ipw3945/iwlwifi/iwl3945 users, please test latest davej kernels

I upgraded my dell d620 to f7 test 4 after testing the intel display
driver worked.

The iwl3945 on the 3145 kernel works ok for me on an ap using wpa
which I've never managed to get working previously with fc6.

It did cause me a few problems initially (not sure if it was oopsing
but powered off and tried again) but I cleared out the wpa_supplicant
configs back to orig and cleared out any other prev attempts and it
isn't too bad although it does seem to drop out every 15 mins or so
and NM needs to be poked to reconnect.

Its also really annoying that the NM box prompting for either the pass
phrase or the keyring password seems to pop under the current window.
