Hardy seems to support both drivers: ipw3945 and iwl3945.
Some bug info I read suggest that iwl3945 is also available on 7.10 (Gutsy).
Seems unlikely that ipw3945 will be fixed.
So I guess you could forget requested information.
What will really needed is to test latest Hardy.
A new test version (Hardy Alpha 3) should come thursday (tomorrow), most 
probably accessible by friday.
So what would really be helpful would be to test it.
Watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/

That said, iwl3945 is known to have bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/177624 (very poor signal 
reception)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/+bug/176271
 (upload and download speed very different, not conviced it is a bug)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181255 (wireless LED is never on)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/178530 (not working on Hardy alpha 2 for 
him)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/+bug/176602
 (On Gutsy, cannot connect to encrypted (WEP or WAP) fixed in Hardy)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/+bug/130457
 (supposedly just fixed in Hardy, Failure to suspend, shutdown, or hibernate)
Well, that's mostly it.
iwl3945 does not need anymore a daemon like ipw3945 did (ipw3945d).

Well, good luck!
