Wireless 3945ABG won't work on fedora 14 x86

[the.masch at gmail.com]

I have to use Fedora 13 only with 2.6.33.8-149.fc13.i686 kernel, it is the
latest version of 2.6.33 series. I cannot use any version of 2.6.34 series,
I have been try it with every single update and I did not have luck.

So, Do I need to wait to someone update the firmware? How can I help with
the report? I am not very familiar how I should proceed.

Thanks!
