You want to use the ipw3945 firmware, module, and regulatory daemon.
See ipw3945.sf.net for details.  I have a Dell E1705/9400 and this has
been working fine for me on FC4 combined with wpa_supplicant.  I
haven't tried the 0.0.71 release from a few days ago, but I've had the
0.0.70 release with patches going well since it's release.

I've yet to update to FC5 to see how well (if at all) I can make this
setup integrate with NetworkManager.
