That's a difficult chipset. I haven't moved to F8 or rawhide yet - still on F7, but the iwl driver in F7 was not nearly good enough to use for the Intel 3945 wireless chipset. I had to go with the ipw3945 package which works pretty well with some tweaking.
FYI - if you can't make the Fedora driver work, you might try the ipw one
here:http://atrpms.net/dist/f8/ipw3945/
Apparently, it has a few dependencies, and it wasn't obvious which ones I needed
to fetch from atrpms. Perhaps tonight I will just fetch the sources, and attempt to rebuild
ipw3945 et.al. from my notes for FC6, and see if that makes my life any better.
I also hope that the iwl driver that's packaged with Fedora 8 is in better shape to deal with this chipset.
Me too!

KNetworkManager seems to be broken since the NetworkManager update to
0.7 because the API changes, so if you are using KDE (like me) then
you need to wait until the KNetworkManager package update... or
install the Gnome NetworkManager frontend... or continue using the
ifup method :-)
The gnome NetworkManager front-end seems to not work (for me) just
like KNetworkManager doesn't work. (ie. It also shows no wired or
wireless interfaces/networks.

After todays Rawhide update including new NetworkManager stuff,
when I restart NetworkManager/NetworkManagerDispatcher/KNetworkManager
I get the following messages/errors in /var/log/messages:
