iwl3945 works less than it did before.

NM doesn't work with it at all.

My guess? This has something to do with it:

[root@localhost iwlwifi]# iwlist wlan0 scanning
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...

wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down

[root@localhost iwlwifi]# ifconfig wlan0 up
[root@localhost iwlwifi]# iwlist wlan0 scanning
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.

wlan0     Scan completed :

                    ESSID:""

I'm running rawhide, wireless-tools-28-2.fc7.x86_64 on my IBMovo T60.

see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238657
seems that its a wireless-tools bug
