(as 3945 does not support n mode) That would make compat-crap stuff difficult, at least I cannot think of an easy way to deal with it. See scripts/iwl-load, part of compat-wireless. This is used to simply rename iwl4965 to iwl4965.ignore and let iwlagn kick in if you are on an older kernel. If we move iwlagn to iwlwifi... umm.. wait did we ever have an "iwlwifi" driver? Luis
