I don't know why iwl3945 composes the association request on its own and what happens to it later. Besides, mac80211 10.0.0 is something heavily patched by Intel AFAIK. I wanted to test the git version of Intel mac80211, but intellinuxwireless.org appears to be down or unreachable at the moment and I didn't have a recent clone. The kernel mac80211 is definitely not the suspect.

I was aware of "error 18", and when I noticed some activity about rates in wireless-2.6/everything, so I decided to see how that problem would be affected.

does loading the module with disable_hw_scan=1 helps?

Sorry for delay.  disable_hw_scan=1 makes no difference for association
requests.  However, it has the opposite effect on the probe requests.
With disable_hw_scan=1, probe requests have the same problem as the
association requests, namely they don't have CCK rates in the supported
rates:
I tryed to reproduce it here using a wrt54gl. I switched it to "B only" and was able to acciotate using iwl3945. iwconfig was reporting 54Mb/s but that seems wrong I did a test with iperf and got this:
0.0-10.1 sec  11.2 MBytes  9.31 Mbits/sec (=< 11Mb/s)
(also the scan result only reported 1, 2, 5.5 and 11
than I switched back to mixed mode, scan result showed the G rates too and I did a iperf again and got:
0.0-10.1 sec  20.6 MBytes  17.2 Mbits/sec (> 11Mb/s)
(in both cases using WEP + broadcast ssid + ~50cm distance to AP, driver version 1.1.17d; 2.6.23.1-10.fc7)

Can you tell me how you captured the assoc request using wireshark? I am only able to capture the dhcp traffic but not the assoc request itself.
