It has been a while since I tested without "disable_hw_scan=1" - my 3945 works
every time with it - last time I tested without it was very hit or miss. 
Sometimes taking over 10 minutes to get associated, sometimes never and this
was with me right next to the WAP.

I think the latest in the fedora kernel I am using is 1.26kds as I recall.
