iwl3945 worked for me even off the Live CD (i.e. Fedora 7
release kernel), with two caveats:
1. The wifi LED didn't light up.
2. I couldn't reliably associate with open networks, though
    that seemed to be a NetworkManager+iwl3945 problem.

I haven't checked recently, but I think 2. has improved.
I ended up using ipw3945 for a long time simply because
I installed it while trying to get the open networks thing
going (didn't help at the time).
