Wireless worked great a few months ago in Hardy. I haven't used wireless in a while- just tried it yesterday and found I had the same problem as the orig post. Tried a few fixes found in other dark corners of the web, including replacing network-manager with WiCD and deleting udev's 70 -persistent-net.rules- all failed.
Installing linux-backports-modules-hardy worked for me, but why isn't 8.04 *LTS* supported without having to resort to backports? If this due to an established policy, it is a confusing one for many users. Many thanks for this tip, though! Going from iwl3945 1.2.0 to the 1.2.26k included in this package seems to clear up connectivity issues. I still need to enter the hex key in WiCD instead of a passphrase, but I've seen hints that this is a known/unsolved bug in WiCD. Not a big deal, at least my wifi works now!
