This kernel doesn't seem to like my firmware. I first tried copying the
current firmware to the properly named file which didn't work. I then
downloaded the latest available firmware from the intel site and still
get this same error:

continuity> dmesg | grep iwl
iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 0.1.8kd
iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 149652 2007-07-26 19:23 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode

Any ideas?

Thanks,
