Well, after giving up for a while, during which time my laptop suspended

Strangely enough (according to what I've understood from Google),
KWiFiManager still doesn't work. But it seems I don't need it now. The
normal network manager did just fine on its own.

I appears ipw3945d
was all I needed, although it took several hours and a suspension for
the computer to figure out that it was working :-).


After thinking about it some more, it occurs to me that kNetworkManager
was already functioning soon after I started ipw3945d. I recall reading
in my investigations that only one network manager would function at a
time, and I was trying to use KWiFiManager when KNetworkManager was in
control.

If I'd realized that sooner, and looked at kNetworkManager rather than
KWiFiManager, I probably would have had complete success much sooner.

You must still figure out why ipw3945d is not loaded at startup (or at
loading of module?)
