After my previous postings concerning difficulties getting ipw3945 to
work I have with help from people from the ipw3945-devel list got
ipw3945 to work nicely in FC6 now.

Basically the microcode and regulatory daemon were installed as
previously in FC5.  The ieee80211 subsystem was left with the default
from the current FC6 kernel. The driver version 1.1.2 was compiled
without modifying any of the files, but running the make command with
the following parameters:

make IEEE80211_API=2 EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DIEEE80211_API_VERSION=2
Then depmod -a and everything works well after that.

The previous workaround for getting the daemon to run automatically
after boot was still required.
