Thanks for the hint -- indeed, the newest uCode works both with 2.6.26 and
current git... so the uCode is backwards compatible, but the kernel code is
not. Should the uCode be named iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode therefore, to notify the
users that they need something newer? Or can the kernel code be made to work
with the old uCode again?

Thanks,
