Honestly I'm tempted to change it to "enable_hw_scan" instead...
Give the advantages, I'd like to use it if we can fix the bug (I haven't
seen what the bug is myself). But you are free to change the default
value until it is fixed. There is no such problem for 4965, right?
AFAICT only the 3945 seems to need it.
I can confirm that this also applies to 4965 as a friend of mine has
this card. According to him the card works a lot better with the
parameters "swcrypto=1" and "disable_hw_scan=1".
Just to make it clear,
iwl3945 doesn't work at all without disable_hw_scan=1 here.
The driver just shuts down thee card since it detects microcode error.
It looks like this is all caused by the big rate, band patch. Looks
like A band scan channels are not configured correctly for the
scanning. This crashes the firmware.

Any patches to fix this are welcome.
