I'll be frank when I say I regret even mentioning my hardware. It only distracts from the issue.
Truth be told, the iwl3945 suffers from terrible speed issues that limit it to 1Mbps/1Mbps in most situations. This was not present in ipw3945. See the following: http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1932 http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1592 https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/581936 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/340418 Anyway, here's some output. e...@kingfisher:~$ ndiswrapper -l netw39x5 : driver installed device (8086:4222) present (alternate driver: iwl3945) [ 13.231542] ndiswrapper version 1.56 loaded (smp=yes, preempt=no) [ 14.098131] ndiswrapper: driver netw39x5 (Intel,01/30/2007,10.5.1.84) loaded [ 14.109680] ndiswrapper 0000:0c:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 [ 14.109760] ndiswrapper 0000:0c:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 14.116758] ndiswrapper: using IRQ 17 [ 14.117196] Modules linked in: snd_seq_midi snd_rawmidi snd_seq_midi_event i915(+) snd_seq drm_kms_helper snd_timer snd_seq_device drm r852 sm_common snd i2c_algo_bit psmouse serio_raw coretemp soundcore btusb bluetooth usbhid nand hid ndiswrapper(+) snd_page_alloc dell_wmi nand_ids nand_ecc mtd dell_laptop dcdbas video lp output parport intel_agp agpgart b44 firewire_ohci sdhci_pci sdhci ssb firewire_core led_class crc_itu_t mii [ 14.117324] [<f834e9f0>] ?
