After googleing I tried the firmware ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2 I pulled
from intel. (dropped the ipw3945.ucode in /lib/firmware where
/etc/firmware/ had a link to it.) No more Microcode SW error. My
connection seems stable. Working for a day now. I'm using WPA(PSK).
Maybe the firmware 1.14.2 increases the stability of the connection. At
the moment I don't have any ipw3945 hardware around for testing. But you
can get the ipw3945-firmware-1.14.2 also from dag's repository:
# yum --enablerepo=dag update ipw3945-firmware
If this solves some problems, ipw3945-firmware-1.14.2 should/will be
also included in SL5 errata.
