Wanted to comment on this, as what I'm reading here does not totally match my experience.

[ 121.966837] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.25

First off, NetworkManager does not report scan_capa, even though above I read that this driver now supports it:

NetworkManager: <info> wlan0: Device is fully-supported using driver 'iwl3945'.
NetworkManager: <info> wlan0: driver does not support SSID scans (scan_capa 0x00).

In addition, LP #176090 claims that now iwlwifi has LED trigger (RX and TX support). On my machine, the LED does come on (which is really a first for iwlwifi, so I'm happy about that), but it does not do anything once it has come on. In addition, it does not appear as if the kill switch actually is able to kill the wireless -- flipping the switch leaves the light on, but it does disable networking.
