Yes, I did this also.

Agreed; ipw3945 never comes back after a reboot.
I must manually restart it each time. Sometimes it will just associate
and come to life on its own a few "10s of seconds" after I log into my
desktop. We should not have to put this into rc.local.
By the way, I tried your script and it did not work for me.
I thought that the purpose of modprobe.conf is to get the device going
early on.
Also, I have used system-config-network to setup eth1 to startup at boot
time.
My "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1" reflects this as well.
When booting the message states something like:
==============================================================
Device ipw3945 not detected; delaying initialization.
==============================================================
