Assuming that you've already used google or some other search engine
first, have a look through launchpad to see if you can spot a similar
issue already filed:

<https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=Intel+Pro+Wireless+3945+%2Bdisconnect&field.actions.search=Search>

You can modify the search field (similar to a google search) to try and
pin it down further.

This looks like a likely candidate:
