The free intel chipset driver for 3945g models, iwl3945, is crap
there. it just doesnt roam at all. (Kernel 2.6.25.8). The binary only
driver you need to use for older kernels worked fine, the free one just
doesnt, needing a "ifdown wlan ; iwconfig wlan ap "any" ; ifup wlan"
every time you need to use a different AP. And then sometimes even that
didnt work and needed a modprobe -r iwl3945.
