Because of the difference of the two hardwares (for example, in
iwl-command.h, iwl_rxon_assoc_cmd differs between 3945 and 4965),
runtime supporting is difficult if not possible (hw structures differs).
So we select to do it statically by generating two drivers from one
source code.

Do you think if it is a good idea to split them into two drivers and
make each of them "#include iwl-base.c"? Please don't hesitate to share
if you have better ideas.

Thanks,
