Dvanzo,
In comment #362 was told that the fixes are specific for a subsystem. You have the same subsystem that I have, 8086:1020 so my fix in #382 should work for you. If you are on Ubuntu version 11.10 then I think all you need to do is setup the "disable_hw_scan=0" as described in #370.
creaate this file,

/etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945.conf

and put this into it.
options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=0

If you are on 11.04 as I am then you need to follow all my instructions in #370.

If that doesn't fix the issue, try downloading a live CD and boot the live CD of 11.11 and see if you can apply the changes. When I was trying to fix this, I had made so many changes that I need to go back to the beginning and start over.

Comment #383, he mentions not using the /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945.conf file and just removing NetWorkmananger and installing WICD instead. I did not try that as I didn't want to loose a VPN I had configured in NetWork manager.
