Some documentation for new driver iwl3945 for chipset wifi (as given by lspcidrake -v)
unknown : Intel Corporation|PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection [NETWORK_OTHER] (vendor:8086 device:4222 subv:103c subd:135c)
using kernel Linux benLapix.eagle-usb.org 2.6.22-3mdv #1 SMP Tue Jul 31 16:25:36 CEST 2007 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz GNU/Linux

some tests for iwl3945

Relevant result of ifconfig -a : (I removed eth0 and lo interfaces)
eth2      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr 00-18-DE-33-C9-22-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00  
	      BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
	      RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
	      TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
	      collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 
	      RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

wlan0_rename Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:18:DE:33:C9:22  
	      BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
	      RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
	      TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
	      collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 
	      RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

=> eth2 should not be remaining and the name should be wlan0 (maybe a problem with dbus ?)
