Remove this line ( includepkgs=iwl*). You do not need it. Instead,
see Example #2 of the CentOSPlus wiki article. You need to add:
exclude=kernel kernel-devel kernel-PAE-*
in the [base] and [update] sections. This way, yum will get the
kernel from the centosplus repo instead of the distro kernel.
After installing the centosplus kernel, reboot the system and try your
wireless again. The iwl3945 is *part* of the centosplus kernel. More
precisely, it is also part of the distro kernel except that it is
disabled there.
