Rahul,
ipw3945-ucode was never installed. So rpm -e ipw3945-ucode did
nothing. I have two version of ipw3945-firmware installed:
1.13-1.nodist.rf and 1.13-1.

Did you mean ipw3945-firmware? Which is the correct version. Should I
be able to find ipw3945.ko installed? I don't see it. Thanks for
getting back.
