This has been discussed at length on various lists, but the gist is -- 
blame Intel.  They're the ones who control licensing and distribution 
rights for their drivers and hardware specs.

I'm running FC5 on my 3945 equipped laptop, with added RPMs from ATrpms 
for 3945 support.  It works just fine.
