[Bug 35215] Re: ipw3945 driver required for functionality on new Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapters

Interesting!

Did you do a fresh install of the official Dapper release (that's what I
did)? Do you recall if you had to do any additional config?

If you didn't do a fresh install, if you have the chance to do it it
would be great to compare our results, I may be doing something wrong on
my side.

I have both the 386 and 686 official kernels, I got the 686 with
synaptics. When I boot the 386 kernel, the radio is turned on
automatically and the wireless extensions show up, all is good. When I
boot the 686 kernel, no wireless extensions show up.

What else can I check (in lspci  & dmesg & syslog everything looks good, no errors, card is detected)? 
My install is essentially the default one; the issue showed up as soon as I switched to the 686 kernel. Now I have installed AIGLX/compiz as well (which btw works wonderfully in this machine), but nothing changed.
