  Modprobe passes 11n_disable=1 option to iwl3945 which doesn't support
  the option

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: module-init-tools

  Module-init-tools 3.12-1ubuntu5 introduced a change which
  automatically passed the 11n_disable=1 option to iwl3945. The iwl3945
  module doesn't support this option (as 802.11n is disabled by
  default). Hence iwl3945 fails to load with a simple message:

  iwl3945: Unknown option: 11n_disable

  A temporary workaround is to remove /etc/modprobe.d/intel-3945-iwlagn-
  disable11n.conf file and then run sudo modprobe iwl3945 .
