Unfortunately, I can't recreate that behavior on my ipw3945-equipped
machine. In fact, -63.fc8 is probably one of the best performing
kernels for wireless on that machine so far.
Some Googling suggested that the problem might be related to using the
wrong rate scaling algorithm. But -63.fc8 has the patches that are
supposed to ensure that you are using the right one with iwl3945 and
iwl4965. You are using -63.fc8? Make sure you try -80.fc8 as well:

Otherwise, keep updating the bug above and I'll keep investigating.
