Hi Alexey,

Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG is supported by wpi(4) only, see
<URL:http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wpi>.

damien@ develops ipw(4), iwi(4) and wpi(4), but unfortunately, he no
longer works with FreeBSD and thus has no plans on porting wpi(4) to
FreeBSD, see http://kerneltrap.org/node/6497.

Cheers,
Constantine.
