    This could be version skew between the wireless APIs in the kernel.org kernel,
    the wireless userspace, the out-of-tree ipw3945 driver and conceivably one
    of the git trees in -mm (although I suspect not the latter).
    
    I don't know, but I know who to cc ;)   Probably they will want to knwo which
    version of wireless-tools userspace you are running.
