I'm using the ipw3945 on CentOS 5.1 with the following packages:

ipw3945d-1.7.22-4.nodist.rf
ipw3945-firmware-1.14.2-1.nodist.rf
dkms-ipw3945-1.2.1-1.nodist.rf


I installed mine using this:

yum install dkms-ipw3945 NetworkManagerDispatcher
chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManager on
chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManagerDispatcher on

After installation, reboot your laptop and your wireless adapter should
now be seen by the NetworkManager application in Gnome. You can click on
it and then connect to it in the taskbar on the right-hand side. I was
successful at connecting to a WRT54G at G speed using WPA2 Pre-Shared
Key Only and AES encryption algorithms.

This is all that was needed to install and connect to the wireless
network. Also, the card is seeing 4 different neighbor's wireless
connection points, so it's probing and searching appropriately.

Not sure if this helps you or not.

Regards,
Max
