If you also use GNOME you should be able to do the same as it works flawlessly for me.  The easiest way to get all the ipw3945 stuff is to start synaptic or aptitude (in interactive mode, i.e. type 'aptitude' and nothing else at the terminal) and do a search for ipw3945 if you install all the packages found it should work.

not work and vice versa.
