Sunday I updated my kernel to 128.1.16 (I had to reboot so it was time to update). No problems with wireless in my home.
Monday I started traveling to IEEE 802 plenary, and I have lost my wireless numerous times needing to reboot.
DKMS: uninstall Completed. Uninstalling: ipw3945 1.2.1-1.nodist.rf (2.6.18-128.1.6.el5) (i686)

But despite that unistalling ipw3945 message, wireless worked, or it seemed.
ipw3945 has been deprecated. You want to use iwl3945 instead. Please follow the instructions on this CentOS wiki:
