Hi, If you do not own any hardware with Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wifi cards, you can stop reading now.
The 2.6.24 kernel has recently hit unstable, and it contains a new shiny iwl3945 driver which should replace the old ipw3945 one. The good news is that you will no longer need to run the ipw3945d binary daemon, the bad news is that binary firmware is still required (but it is available as a package). The plan is to remove ipw3945-modules-* and ipw3945d packages from the archive as soon as 2.6.24 kernel hits testing. Because of that, everyone running unstable and using ipw3945 is encouraged to switch to using 2.6.24 and iwl3945 driver as soon as possible. The switching instructions are available at http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi I've only tested this procedure myself, so feel free to contribute additional information to the wiki page, and reply to this thread if you encounter any problems (cc me in this case, as I'm not on d-u).
