1. type "iwconfig". it must list down your Wireless interface if its
working and all through.
2. You can also do lsmod and check whether iwl3945 is loaded or not.
3. Check your lspci output for your network controller.

Just a curious question. If you are on Intrepid you should
automatically be having network-manager as your default network
manager to list and select wireless/wired networks. I am not sure why
you prefer to this way round.
