mac80211 and iwl3945 are not separate packages. They are in the kernel
itself.  The newest testing version I know of is in Dave Jones's
repository here,

http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/fc7/RPMS.kernel/i386/

 it's version kernel-2.6.21-1.3232.fc7.  As far as I can tell, the
iwl3945 driver is quite a bit better than the original F7 kernel.  I
still have a lot of trouble making NetworkManager work, but the
iwl3945 itself does seem to connect much better.
