What's worse, it was accepting that command line without any error  
messages.  I was surprised that no interface was created, but I was  
trying it with iwl3945, so I assumed that maybe b43 would do it right.

But the way, I would seriously reconsider the name of the utility  
before the first release.  Google search for "iw linux wireless"  
(without quotes) gives too many false positives - device names, pieces  
of code, even "Iw as a student" :-)
Some sites even refer to wireless tools as "iw tools" based on their  
prefix.  The name should be short but "searchable", i.e. reasonably  
unique.

[We should probably move to linux-wireless, as it's getting offtopic here]
