If you can reproduce this, it sounds more like a firmware problem, so
Reinette is probably going to want you to enable firmware debugging in
the driver. Try removing the iwl3945 module with rmmod, then "modprobe
iwl3945 debug=0x43fff", reproduce this command timeout, and attach the
logs to whatever bug report you file.
