Re: ipw3945 driver in recent -mm kernels

Hi!

I tried to use `subj`, but hit few problems:

There's no maintainers entry. Should

 James P. Ketrenos [off-list ref] 

be listed as a maintainer?

Kconfig mentions...

          See <file:Documentation/networking/README.iwlwifi> for
          information on the capabilities currently enabled in this
          driver and for tips for debugging issues and problems.

...but that file does not exist.

More problems: 

I managed to load the firmware and insert the module.... but I had
radio kill switch on. It complained that kill switch is on, but
turning it off did not help. Module unload/reload was neccessary to
get it to work.

I still do not see the wlan led. It seems to scan okay, but I can't
seem to connect, and I get this in logs:
