Hi there,

I already upgraded to 1.1.3 before reporting. Here is the list of installed 
package versions:

ii  firmware-ipw3945             0.3            Binary firmware for IPW3945
ii  ipw3945-modules-2.6.18-3-686 2.6.18+1.1.3-3 Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG 
(ipw3945) driver
ii  ipw3945-source               1.1.3-2        Source for the Intel 
PRO/Wireless 3945ABG (i
ii  ipw3945d                     1.7.22-3       Binary userspace regulatory 
daemon for Intel

Yes, there is kernel 2.8.16 running on my laptop:

Linux orthanc 2.6.18-3-686 #1 SMP Sun Dec 10 19:37:06 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

I see, maybe I should wait for 2.6.19 appearing in Sid. ;)

Strange, beacuse I'm running the actual package which is available in Sid.
