There are already answers in this thread: the ipw driver does not
support the intel 3945.
However, there is a work-in-progress driver (wpi) at
http://people.freebsd.org/%7Eflz/local/wpi/

which I'm using on a Acer Aspire AS5672 laptop with good results. I'm
even using WPA encryption. YMMV. 
For me, the driver only works with acpi disabled, but I think the
reason for that have more to do with my laptop and bios /acpi issues. 

If you want more information, search the archives of the freebsd-mobile
mailinglist for "intel 3945".
