ipw3945 kind of got replaced with iwl3945.... it's a driver for the same
hardware that uses mac80211.  iwl3945 and mac80211 are present in recent
F7 and development kernels (not sure about F6).  I did not see the
keyboard trashing behaviour for some time on iwl3945.

What I would do (but I am not so averse to these kind of risks) is

yum --enablerepo development update kernel iwlwifi-firmware

and get the development (right now that means sort of beta F8) kernel
and dependencies on your F6 install.  In the past this has worked out
fine for me serveral times.

Reboot into that and use iwl3945, it is already part of the kernel, do
not recompile ipw3945 at all.
