Actually, for me, that particular kernel doesn't work for iwl3945.
The one I've had most luck with is:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=39121
and to get it to work, I need to add the line
options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1
to /etc/modprobe.conf
You'll need to unload and reload the iwl3945 module and reload it for
that change to take effect, of course.
HTH, iwl3945 for me has been spotty with F8 - some kernels work, some don't.
