First results, just to see what's different and if it came up alright:

Previous boot:

wpi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG> mem 0xd8000000-0xd8000fff irq 16 at 
device 0.0 on pci2
wpi0: Ethernet address: 00:19:d2:60:be:a3
wpi0: [ITHREAD]
wpi0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
wpi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
wpi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 
36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
wpi0: wpi_cmd: cmd 72 not sent, busy
wpi0: wpi_cmd: cmd 72 not sent, busy
wpi0: link state changed to UP

Boot with patch:
wpi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG> mem 0xd8000000-0xd8000fff irq 16 at 
device 0.0 on pci2
wpi0: Ethernet address: 00:19:d2:60:be:a3
wpi0: [ITHREAD]
wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 1
wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 3
wpi0: timeout resetting Tx ring 4
wpi0: link state changed to UP

Will try wpa_supplicant possibly later today, or tomorrow. Need my girl to 
hook up the wired ethernet so I can still log in if things fail :p
