It seems that Intel, for reasons of their own, isn't able to (or doesn't want to) release necessary docs to make a good driver. OpenBSD (4.0) have support for this via the wpi driver, but it doesn't support WPA yet, only WEP. Your best bet would be to a) exchange the network card, if possible. Some laptop network cards are miniPCI and can be exchanged, but I do not know if this is the case for the 3945ABG. b) use an external usb network "dongle". Look at the ural driver, you can find some of the supported devices quite cheap. I dont know how good they are, I have just tested one, and have some issues with it (stability) but haven't been able to rule out if it is something with my setup yet.
