I don't remember any either. Here are the notes I used:

Description: When using the ipw3945 wireless module, the network
connection
can drop or lockup during heavy transfer rates.
Impact: Wireless connection drops. Data transfer stops.
Workaround: Use network module iwl3945 instead.

Create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ipw3945 and add:
blacklist ipw3945

Add to /etc/modules: iwl3945

Reboot. After the system restarts, verify that the module iwl3945 (and
not
ipw3945) is loaded:

$ lsmod | egrep 'Module|iwl|ipw'

You should see an output that looks like:
Module                  Size  Used by
iwl3945                88168  0
iwlwifi_mac80211      175112  1 iwl3945
cfg80211                7304  1 iwlwifi_mac80211

As seen, only the iwl3945 module is loaded. Hope this helps! It was
easy
enough the even I could do it! Of course it was done on a laptop which
had "Gutsy" factory installed.

I tried this and it worked. I guess you just have to have the driver in
the /etc/modules file when you reboot for the name of the interface to
get worked out and all.

Strangely the signal strength is listed as being 3 out of 4 bars now when
I'm only a few feet from the router. Not that it matters, as long as
everything else works. I'll post in a few days to note whether or not
this solves all the problems.

Thank you all.
