hi,
my 'dsmeg | grep ipw' gives
ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for
Linux, 1.1.2dmpr
ipw3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
it does not differ from yours.
yes, it looks pretty similar.
Does this mean the daemon is running? I don't find an ipw3945d in
/etc/init.d or somewhere else. Could this be the reason? If yes: in
which packega do I find ipw3945d to start?
you should try to install ipw3945d then - it might be causing the
trouble.
$apt-file search ipw3945d
ipw3945d: etc/init.d/ipw3945d
ipw3945d: etc/logrotate.d/ipw3945d
ipw3945d: etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945d
ipw3945d: sbin/ipw3945d

i've installed this machine long long time ago, when the ipw3945 stuff
wasn't part of the package collection - at that time, it involved some
fiddling (check http://lubos.vrbka.net/miscellaneous/amilo-pro-v3205
if you are interested) - but i don't think anything should be needed
anymore.
best,
