You might want to take a look dat this post: 
http://www.nabble.com/Intel-3945ABG-with-ipw-driver-on-CURRENT-tf4562715.html#a13043334 
that patch fixed the bug I had with the wpi driver. Allthough it still 
hangs my system in a state which I'm not able to give any debug output. 
I mailed benjamin about it but he didn't know what the problem could be 
on the first glance. He was working on it though. Anyway it might help
