The driver is called ipw3945. You won't find it with module assistant
because it has not been debianised yet (as far as I can tell). You have
to download the source from http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ and follow
the instructions to build the driver. (You don't need to worry about the
ieee80211 subsystem, though; that is now included in the kernel.)

Make sure you have "alsa-base" and "alsa-utils" installed. Run
"alsaconf" as root; this should get you going. If you can't hear
anything, check the volume controls with "alsamixer".

I am not sure about that. Your dmesg output related to the card looks OK
to me.
