ipw3945 didn't create that file; this should be handled in udev, which needs
to be able to correct the rules there that are only compatible with old
modules.
There is a corresponding (release-critical) bug in Ubuntu about this issue;
please see <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/183968>.
