Bug#481436: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686: Unable to use wireless with Intel iwl3945 module.

Package: linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
Version: 2.6.24-6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Hardware: IBM Thinkpas R60 + Intel 3945 wireless
After upgrading to kernel 2.6.24 and switch to iwl3945 module, my wireless
stop working. The 'firmware-iwlwifi' package(ver:0.10) was correctly installed.
In older kernels, I used the deprecated ipw3945 module, and it worked
perfectly without any problem. Now with iwl3945 + firmware-iwlwifi, it's
totally broken.
