Which kernel?  I found the one in yesterday's update (2.6.24.17.19) did not 
let me have wireless.  I run the Intel 3945 chip too but the laptop is a Dell 
1525n.  I have to boot the previous kernel (2.6.24.16.18) for sound and 
wireless to work.  I could not get network manager to function either with 
the new kernel, even with manually inserting the information.
