Probably the reason is that ipw3945d cannot write the pid file in
/var/run/ because it's still mounted ro.
I suggest you use something like this to start the daemon:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="module", NAME=="ipw3945", \
RUN+="/bin/sh -c '/lib/udev/ipw3945d-helper &'"
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="module", NAME=="ipw3945", \
RUN+="/sbin/ipw3945d --kill"
/lib/udev/ipw3945d-helper:
#!/bin/sh -e
. /lib/udev/hotplug.functions
# hack: wait for /var to be mounted rw
wait_for_file /dev/log
exec /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet
