iwl3945 was loading the ucode (firmware) during probe but then changed
to do this on ifup.
for 4965 this does not cause such problems because the rfkill state is
reported via an interrupt; while for 3965 its an ucode event...
no ucode means no ucode event ;) (but it should be able to read the
current state after an ifup)
