From the ipw(4) manual page:
ipw -- Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 IEEE 802.11 driver
i.e. 3945 hardware is *not* supported by this driver - sorry. There is an
ongoing effort to port a driver called wpi(4) to support this hardware,
details at: http://www.clearchain.com/wiki/Wpi But this is in an early
stage of development. Testing is welcome, however. An additional
possibility is the ndis framework - see ndisgen(8).
