Hi,

no, I did not. However, in the meanwhile I discovered, that I did not
include CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT in my .config before compiling new kernel.
I was mislead by the help, which says:
"Enable this option if you need old userspace for wireless extensions
with cfg80211-based drivers."
I thought iwlwifi or iwl3945 is new enough.
After enabling this option, my wifi seems to work.
That is, I can do scanning for AP.
The led still does not work, but it is just a small trouble, not worth
much effort for me.
Best regards
