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.
